Sky home move and need new phone line

[Nic10]

Moving house, locally, need to activate sky homemove but the new house doesnt have a phone line, one needs to be installed.  How does this process work and how long roughly might it take?

Short answer - it depends.  Basically on OpenReach's availability and the local situation.

Sky suggests 2-4 weeks notice period.  The longer the better...

hi @Nic10 

Note no new traditional phone lines are installed as the country moves to Voice over IP (VOIP), so any phone provision will be this method

If it's in the UK, putting the address into the BT Wholesale Availability Checker should indicate which broadband provisioning type is applicable.

It's the table and the two text lines below it which are most useful.

Remove any personal information (such as the address itself) if you post an image.

That page re-iterates how little I understand of broadband - only a couple of the Acronyms mean anything to me
