Sky are certainly interested in preventing new customer deals (new equipment etc) being given to those who are not actually new customers .

The OP in the first post of this thread suggested exactly that.:eek:

First point - I don't think Sky have hard and fast policies. Some customers wangle deals as good as, if not better than new customers. Some have no luck at all... I basically cannot believe you standing the moral high ground on Sky's behalf! :eek:

Second point - Cannot be bothered to explore the pedantry any further..

I'm not taking Sky's side, I just think if you get a deal it should not be from deception. I could care less about it costing Sky some money.

I've only ever had broadband with them before so the only equipment they'd be giving me is the dish and box etc. The vast majority of the cost is for sky tv so technically we are new customers to that.

Well I can give the definitive answer here!

Until a few months ago, my sky TV was being paid for by my ex-boyfriend who had moved out a few months previously to that. He decided he was going to cancel the account (being as he didn't live here!) and I phoned up Sky to see if they could transfer the account to me. Not possible apparently, they said I had to start as a brand new customer. I got all the new customer deals (free box, install, half price for 6 months, M&S voucher, cashback) and they even arranged it to start on the day the 'old Sky' switched off. I tried to tell them I didn't need a new box as the one I already had was only 5 months old but they insisted on sending an installer out with a new one for me. In fact as I now had 2 boxes I got the installer to install the older box in my bedroom, I thought he might be disappointed if he didn't get to drill through a wall and climb a ladder!

My point is, Sky had no problem, can't imagine why anyone else would when doing a similar thing, no lying/deception needed!

That's just a rundown of your own limited experience, it's hardly "definitive".:eek:

But the answer was deduced from , nonetheless, experience.
