New sky customer advice?

mrsg26

My husband had a sky account at our previous address and we cancelled however I wish to get sky at our new address in my name. When we spoke to them they said we would have to set up a new customer account rather than a home move (I deal with all the bills and Everytime we had problems sky wouldn't speak to me so it got a bit tiresome, hence why wanting it now in my name.) Anyway I've been looking on the sky site and quidco to see what offers are available and I don't know whether to go for the full package online with hd, sport, movies and unlimited talk and broadband, or maybe just go for the basic entertainment with unlimited broadband and hope that they send us offers to upgrade? Do you think that is likely for new customer? Any advice is appreciated, thanks

Not sure why you speaking to Sky was such an issue -it's really simple set a password on the account and the non account holder can do almost anything except cancel (or mess with direct debits if not a joint account).

Any agent can set it up with the account holder at any time -it's really common.

I signed up in March this year to Sky+HD and I've no offers to upgrade other than them automatically upgrading my broadband from 2mb to unlimited because I went over my allowance twice. Think it's costing an extra 7.50 a month.
I signed up through topcashback and got about 135 quid cashback and then 70 pounds of M&S vouchers from sky.
I'd sign up for what you want then once your contract is up maybe try and get a better deal then?

Thanks for that however as we have now moved out and cancelled our sky I guess I am looking for advice as a new customer again.
