I have requested a home move and Sky has cancelled by broadband as the new propery does not have sky coverage. However, I've seen the property has fibre installed by BT open reach. When I check my neighbours address on Sky it shows broadband is available, but address shows no coverage. I also rang customer service and they said they cannot provide sky, so bit puzzled.
Do I need to wait for BT to release the address to Sky after completion date (This week) and try signing up?
Thanks!

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@massive627 talk to the developer as on occasion they sign deals with ISPs to give them exclusive rights for a few years in rerurn for a payment and some developers like Persimmons insist you use their capitive ISP for a period.

The developer said as it's with BT Open reach, I can get whichever provider uses their infrastructre. The neighbour's are on Sky.
I called BT they also confirmed the installation is complete on their system and line is active. So Sky should be able to provide broadband?
