Moving House - Existing Customer or New Customer - Best Deal

So I'm due to move house this year and just finished my year 1/2 price deal (Standard Sky + Plus Box) that I do every year when I cancel and they ring back. Price has gone back up.
Will I get a better deal if I advise sky and take it with me or cancel then start from scratch as a new customer?

Thanks

    If you are able to take an existing contract to a new house it will start a new contract .
    You have not finished contract but are now on a rolling 30 day contract .
    Cashback and new customer offers from new house >. Price them up first .

    Not with Sky it doesn't, you just pay a small moving fee which covers putting the dish up.

    Edit: It's £35 for a "standard" install which is Monday to Saturday (might be Friday) and £50 for Sunday (maybe Saturday too).

    "Standard" means easily accessible and no extra work involved.
