Sky “NEW” contract

[FONT=&quot]Sky “NEW” contract[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I have Sky at my house which my son had ordered on his name.
[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]He has since moved away but I continued (and paid) the system which is now coming to an end.
[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]He’s given a notice to end the contract.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
I wish to have Sky.
[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]
My question is should I now get a new Sky contract in my own name or should I continue as before?
[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]What t are my options?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Would Sky fit a new system at the same address as before?[/FONT]

    Why do you need a new system fitted?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    [FONT=&quot]Hi macman,[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Many thanks for your quick response.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]What I meant was how does Sky view a change of name at the same property?[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]So do I now need to apply in my own name? [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Will they view it as new contract as it will be a new name at the same property? So if I wanted to have Sky in my own name wouldn’t Sky ask me to have one?[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]I’m sorry to be a pain but I’ve no experience in this.[/FONT]

    If you apply it will be a new account in your name.

    Get your son to recommend you before his contract ends, there is usuallly some incentive for you both.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
