    The fact hat the new property has an existing satellite dish should not really influence you to go with Sky, since that would be provided FOC anyway.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    One thing you can do is put a bar on your account so that it is in Limbo until you move to your new property, you just call customer services and tell them the new place is not ready, you continue to pay as normal, BUT THERE IS A STING IN THE TAIL.

    When you finally move TalkTalk who say that moving is free http://i.imgur.com/yeOKzvj.png will force you into a new 18 month contract and on totally different terms to what you are on now.

    On mine they added £25 a month to what I currently pay, no not exactly free. I am reporting to the Office of Fair Trading and Ofcom, free should mean free and if you are contractually forced with a gun to your head into a new contract at a higher monthly price then it is a rip off.

    I was happy to sign up for 18 months IF they gave me the same terms but they would not. So now I will leave the account in limbo, pay off my contracted amount and go with another company.

    TalkTalk ruin their reputation when they pull stunts like this, I have been with them for years, referred people to them on here and elsewhere. Now I will be dining out on how they ripped me off and warning others to beware.
    Thanks, don't you just hate people with sigs !

    Sky are not the only game in town if you have Satelite, you can pickup cheap freesat equipment on eBay.
