Moving house

I am moving back in with parents for a month August, and will be moving into a new place in September.
I understand i can't temporarily pause the contract or services, however would it be okay if i still pay for the month - but it still remains unplugged until the move.

Im not able to plug in my box at my parents without interfering with their broadband.

Of course you can leave it unplugged. Everything on a Sky Glass TV is stored remotely on Sky's servers. You can still use Sky Go on a mobile device at your parents' house if you like. They'll never notice you using some of their bandwidth.

I see. I forgot to state im regarding the broadband router, not Sky Glass. Would this still be the case of being able to leave it unplugged for the month?

Broadband connections are unique to the address. Simply moving your router won't take the broadband with you.
