Ending Sky Contract Early, Moving To House Already With Sky

I've just moved into a property which I'm unsure how long I'll be staying at for.
All TV / Broadband contracts are minimum term with exit fees so I'm not sure what to do... I need broadband for my business!
The house I may be moving into next already has Sky so as Sky wouldn't be able to move the contract, would I be able to get out of it?

    Only by paying the exit fee.

    It may be worth looking into mobile broadband on a 30day rolling contract

    New house will presumably not have Sky when you move .
    As its a business i would be asking Skys business team .

    Short answer, no. You're within the contract period so need to pay up the contract.
    Also you're moving into a house share with residential Sky and expecting to run a business to work with no issues and full uptime ?

    It isn't the house that has theSky contract -it's the occupant.

    If you are moving in with someone who already has a running Sky contract then you have the problem you think. If however you are moving into a property and the previous occupant had Sky then you can move your contract over.

    If you are intending to run a proper business using BB it may be worth aquainting yourself with the difference between residential and business contracts for BB especially with reference to service failures.

    All providers are not the same - with Sky a home move doesn't automatically trigger a new contract if you move the same services whereas with VM it does for example.
