Sky, sigh...

O2 took about 5 days to change and told me it would take about 2 weeks. Once i had new phone number i told them same day, and it starts from there...

Other option is to cancel at your current address 3-4 days before u go, will make it quicker on the other side and 5 days of transfer includes taking broadband of the line you are currently on.

I have Sky broadband, when we moved they told us the same 15 days, but it actually took 3 despite there being no phone line at all when we moved in.

That's promising then.

Just had a lot of problems when I had it installed initially - so was preparing for the worst.

Sorry for the hijack, but, we are moving next month too.

We have everything from sky the tv phone line broadband etc.

I know the tv side is straight forward, but how do we go about getting the phone line switched to sky at the new house and the broadband activated?

Do they need to know the existing phone number at the new house first?

Bit off topic, but Sky Sports tried to interview David James a few years ago and he declined.

When asked why, he said his sky box hadn't been working for three weeks and despite numerous calls noone had come to fix it. He wasn't going to be interviewed until they fixed it.

It was fixed the next day...

Yep, I think so.  This is the logistical issue - and like you said, the TV changeover is the simple and it's the phone line getting activated that's the issue and only then can they process the broadband for activation.

Unless you're David James on strike.

Moved last month, Orange said the same, up to 15 days for broadband, it was done the same day tho...

So you were with Orange, and moved to the new place and stuck with Orange?  Sky doesn't say up to 15 days though, it says typically 15 days.  It was actually longer when I signed up with them originally...

Yes already with Orange, and stayed with them, orange wednesdays ftw! 

I used to love going to the cinema on Wednesdays, now i can't enjoy it anymore thanks to orange wednesdays, burn orange!
