We're switching away from virgin to Sky, but will only be in this rental for a few weeks before we move out. Our landlord therefore doesn't want to allow us to complete the fibre installation with a hole drilled in the wall. Is there an alternative to allow us to go ahead with Sky broadband now without the fibre installation, and then have fibre installed when we move to our new house?

@Saskia327 Sky only provide a fixed line service so if your current landlord won't allow drilling the best option is to wait until you move to order a fixed line broadband service.
In the meantime maybe look at Mobile broadband on a rolling contract basis, Sky don't offer these, but some providers may.

@Saskia327 Why do you even consider that when you are moving, all you are requesting is multiple install's old/new home with a home move to follow!

Not sure why it's your concern but my contract with Virgin is ending so the price triples, and we're not moving for a couple of months. But thanks

@Saskia327 Just bug Virgin to let you out of contract earlier, if you pester them enough, they'll do it just to shut you up.
