Unbelievable

[DGL81]

If someone could please contact me directly and help with my issue. After contacting the customer service team and making them aware that I would be moving home

• After checking that Sky internet was available in my area, I was told that I would be able to take my account with me 
• My router would still work, and the internet would be available from the day I moved in
• To my surprise, the internet is not available
• I call up, get passed around 3 different teams before I'm finally told that my account has now been cancelled 
• I asked if I could set up a new account, and then told full fibre is available. I explain that this is a rented property and I do not have permission for the works required
• I am then told works will not be required. New account setup, the engineer visited is booked 
• Engineer arrives, works are needed. I cancelled the visit
• I call up Customer Services to cancel the visit and ask what I can do to resolve this and get my internet up and running
• I am then told I need to wait another week for my case to be escalated 

Shambles! Can someone please contact me to sort this out?

They won't do that.

Unfortunately you're stuck.  Where FTTP is in reach of an address, no ISP can order a wholesale copper circuit: that's deliberate policy by Openreach to push forward the national uptake of the newer technology.

Without that permission it's essentially impossible for Sky or any other similar ISP to provide a broadband service.

This is the case irrespective of the initial poor advice you received.

So what are my options here? 

[DGL81]

There are serveral connection hubs in the property, I was referring to the drilling works

Seek permission for the necessary installation work.  It would be foolish for a landlord to refuse: apart from other factors, properties with high speed internet availability earn more money.

Unfortunately in such circumstances those only help if they are either a Virgin Media cable node or an Optical Network Terminal from an altnet ISP (in which case service has to be ordered directly from that provider)
