We have been with Sky for many years and I have just cancelled it as we are out of contract and moving house.

When I assess the broadband and TV options for the new house, is there anything stopping me from including Sky in the mix - my logic is that if I sign up in my name (the old contract was in OH name), at the new address, there is no way that Sky can know we are the same household?

Sky prices are horrendous when you are out of contract but seem to be relatively competitive if you are a new customer from what I can see so far.

    A new name, email address and different bank account should work.

    TBH , you probably could use your name , email, bank account etc , Sky won’t care and they are unlikely to even  ‘notice’ you were previously a customer at a different address .

    To get a Sky ID for your new account you will need to re-register with a different email address.

    OK so theoretically I could do this every 2 years just by using a new (e.g. disposable) email address and alternating between me and OH?

    In theory, yes, but remember all loaned equipment has to be returned to Sky at the end of your contract.
