New build

Charlotte1411 — Thu, 14 May 2026 21:52:18 GMT

Hi, I'm moving to a new build and have been told by the builders that it is set up for OFNL fibre. I am in contract for phone and broadband till 2027, has sanyone managed to have sky installed with a new build property. I can't seem to find out if I can end my contract if it's not available at the property.
There is "shine a light" which is a fibre network by sky but I'm not sure if sky can transfer me to that.

'See The Light', I believe.

The other is a Rolling Stones track from the Exile on Main St album ; )

I'm afraid it's unclear how Sky Broadband treats early exit to STL, which as you say is a Sky Group company.

Thanks, it's also a McFly song 🤣

There is no BT connect up just OFNL (think that's correct)

I shall give sky a call and see what they can do

Unfortunately that's quite possible: it's sadly still legal for a property developer to effectively give them a monopoly on a new build plot.
