                    I sold & moved out of my house on 4th December, 2015 and am moving into a new house shortly.  I want to arrange Sky tv, phone & broadband but wonder if I can qualify as a new customer?  Up until my move, I was a Sky customer.
I am moving into a new build and am unable to get cable (Virgin) and have heard that BT are not all that good for signal etc.
The other thing I have to take into account is the monthly cost and I know Sky raise their prices every year. I have read advice on MSE but mostly seems to pertain to existing customers. Further confused with Sky Q! Anyone got any good advice?

 Yes...stop paying for Sky and use alternative products.Pamelavhill wrote: »Anyone got any good advice?
 For a total of £146.50 per year (after £100 cashback) I get landline rental, unlimited calls (limited offer), broadband with unlimited usage, 1 medium usage mobile phone plan and 2 low usage mobile phone plans (limited offer) - all mobiles have unlimited calls between them. As I now watch all TV after it's been shown on TV I don't require a TV licence and save on the £145.50 TV licence so the net cost per year is about £1 more than just having an on demand freeview service and I get so much more. The programming I watch has zero advertising so it takes 45 minutes to watch a 60 minute episode.
 I'm with TalkTalk and have an Amazon Fire TV stick with plenty of apps loaded.:footie: Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. 0 0

            Sky uses the same pipe as BT so it will be the same signal .0

 You do qualify as a new customer as you are signing up at a new address. You'd have to be away for a year if you were still at the old one.Pamelavhill wrote: »I sold & moved out of my house on 4th December, 2015 and am moving into a new house shortly.
