Hi , got a code for half price sky for 12 months , via vouchercodes.co.uk , have just given virgin notice so will be going to sky in a month , are there any tips from anyone on what else i should be doing ? i.e . go through quidco?
I need phone ,broadband and a sky plus box , i also need hd and 3d .
Also tv in a seperate room but this doesnt need to be hd or 3d .
Any advice greatfully recieved thank you

To switch line rental and broadband from VM to Sky requires you to install a BT-based line for ADSL broadband. Your existing VM cable line can only be used on VM, not for any other provider.

Since sky will be charging line rental for the phone line , surely they will sort that ?

No, you'll have to "sort that" with BT.

Sky can install the line for you (or reconnect an existing line), but it's not 'included'. It's a separate one-off charge. Anything from about £50 to £130 if you pay the full BT rate.
