Moving In with my partner who already has Sky. Can I cancel when I'm still in contract with them ?

[W77OKA]

I'm moving In with my partner soon who already has his own Sky package / contract.

Can I cancel when I'm still in contract with them and if so what would the early termination charges be?

i currenty have Sky Q with 1 multiroom box, sky cinema, and netflix. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@W77OKA  If you are in a fixed term/discounted deal then Sky will ask you to pay a termination fee if they allow you to cancel.

@W77OKA 

And that early termination fee will basically add up to the remainder of your discounted term amount.

@W77OKA  ... and if sky do allow you to cancel you will need to return any loaned q equipment so make sure when doing so you obtain and keep indefinitely proof of postage

The same advice will apply to you as well.

I already have Sky and my partner will be moving in with me. Does anyone know how much the termination fee actually is?

Have a read of this:

https://www.sky.com/help/articles/charges-for-ending-your-sky-contract-early

Basically it is the remainder of the contract, that is if Sky let you leave early.

We take the monthly charge for products you have, then deduct:

• The business costs we save because we’re no longer providing you with your service(s), and;
• A discount for accelerated receipt – a discount reflecting the fact that we receive one lump sum payment, rather than a staggered payment made over the length of your subscription period.

The monthly charge minus the deductions gives a monthly early termination charge (ETC) rate.  If you have a discount on your monthly subscription, we’ll deduct this amount from the ETC rate, then multiply your revised figure by the remaining days and months of your minimum term to work out your final early termination charge.
