    No no no !

    If you are not in contract then cancel it, then when you move you can re-apply and go through a cashback site, :)

    Why would you want to cancel and re-apply seeing as most of the sky offers are for new customers only. So get dish installed for nothing or cancel and pay to go back to sky, hard choice that one.

    Because you will be a new customer as its a new address , and you benefit from the new customer offers and cashback , so you are right hard choice isn't it !

    No they are not stupid, may be new address but still the same customer. They go to sign up, as new address, may need to enter old address and will do credit check and get tied into new 1 year contract and pay full installation charge and pay for the box.

    So yeah, hard choice.

    It works done it myself , so have friends too.

    You can always change it into a partners name if concerned
  • I am a Sky customer and had a speculative phone call along the lines of: "We are aware people think we offer better deals to new customers, so we are ringing our existing ones to tell them the same deals are available to them."

    For an existing customer, that can only apply to an upgrade, but a glance at Sky's webiste bears out what the man said.

    I'm tempted to go HD, which at present includes a £100 Marks and Spencer voucher.
