    if you have the code it doesn't matter who else signs up, the code is valid for a set period.

    No, read it again.

    They're giving away 10,000 codes but only the first 2,250 to order will be accepted. If you're they 2251st person to order your code won't be accepted.

    I'd cancel and re-order. You can usually cancel up to 24 hours before the service goes live.

    You're going to save 3-400 quid for the sake of waiting an extra week for sky/broadband. I know I couldn't afford to not cancel and re-order!
  • Just incase anyone else gets this problem, i was able to obtain a code at 1101am, went straight onto sky's link to order.

    However when I tried to insert my code the page just sat there doing nothing, no refresh, no waiting but had an error in the bottom left which said "Error on page".

    I also tried creating a new order via "shop" on sky's website and inserting the code at the appropriate time, this also gave the same error.

    I therefore spoke to sky who made no indication theres a overload with their website and allowed the order to be taken over the phone with the 50% off which isn't normally the way to do it.

    Has anyone else had any problems, can moneysaving expert comment?

  • Excellent. All signed up, they're coming Thursday. No mention of Multi-room which we need. Presume we just have to pay for that on top? In which case I'll let them know.

    You could have ordered the multiroom at the time of placing the order mate and the engineer would have been able to install the additional lines/boxes. Give them a ring and see if they can add ti on to save you having to wait for another engineer visit.
  • Well I spoke to them and wasn't even able to cancel and re-order either :( They said if I did that then I technically wouldn't be classed as a new customer as they would just re-activate my old account.

    Oh well.
  • I only have Internet explorer available, but no problem they did it on the phone :beer: coming onthe 20th :money:
