    Lol, it's not Big Brother watching you @teddysmum, it's Sky.



    That sounds like a joke, but there have been a number of stories in the last 18 months that suggest tv companies (Samsung is one ) admit spying via smart tvs, because of the internet usage involved. It has also been suggested that such as the CIA bug tv sets for actual surveillance ,so only a small step to general spying from the real Big Brother.

    The OP is referring to joining Sky, not leaving them, so the situation is different.


    Going from Sky to PlusNet had no cease charge for me, but leaving PlusNet a will have a £30 fee.

    What a Scam Plusnet are!

    Sky do seem to have a problem with some lines, it seems to be based on exchange.

    I have known one move in same block and they could not move number and they cancelled the charge because of it.

    I thought OFCOM rules said you could take your number with you no matter what and without fee?

    Sky experience seems to be so variable.
