Changing package and moving house
I'm about to move house. 26 yrs a Sky customer. Currently got Sky Q (not in contract and paying over the odds).
I want the following package :
Sky Broadband 300mb, Sky Stream & Sky Sports.
I see this package is available but appears to be only for new customers.
Can I have this package ?
if not, I'll cancel and my wife can take it out as new customer.

No, as you're not a new customer.

As long as Sky don't realise... (They are wise to this)
I am just another Sky customer and my views are my own even if you don't like the answers

Hi @Glenn70 Sounds like a plan to me, just cancel completely while still at your old address (31 days notice). Then a new account at your new address, make sure that it is a different name, address, bank account and of course, a new home phone number (if you use it). Nothing that could tie you to your old account including a mobile number.

If you are moving home and cancel your cancel your Sky subscription at your old property and not tell you are moving. You could probably take a new customer subscription at your new address in own name, as I don't think they will be able tie your old account now you are at a different address. But may be I might be wrong.
