Cannot sign in

[AndyWright67]

I've just signed up for Sky Broadband and received the confirmation email.

When I try to sign in to check the order I receive the error "We can't find an account matching that email address or username". I am of course using the same email used to sign up to Sky.

I'm moving from Now Broadband so I wondered if there was a clash with the account there which I believe is held on the same systems as Sky?

Hi,

I managed to speak with a Sky agent. It seems I should have received an email containing the account number, and that from there I'd be able to "link the account". Apart from the order confirmation I haven't had any other emails, and he said the system wasn't allowing him to resend the account details email. He thought this might be because it's a new account and I was advised to wait 72 hours and see if any further emails are received.

I'll leave it there for now and hopefully something will come through.

Thanks.
