First Home

[Tommyb]

hi all. We move into our first home on the 31st January. I was trying to be organised and arrange for our sky / broadband to be installed on the 1st February. Sky have come back saying an engineer will be attending on the 1st to install sky tv but our broadband activation date is the 14th January. We obviously will not be in the property then so just wondering what the implications of this would be? Will it interfere with the people who currently live there or will nothing happen until we connect the router when we get in on the 31st? TIA

I talked to sky today to get mine set up and they told me the hub is delivered to the address 5 days before the activation date. On the activation date you need to physically plug the hub into the house for them to activate it. I would call sky and change the date.

Fyi I'm only getting broadband set up then deciding if we want to add sky TV later.

Congratulations! So exciting

I will be keeping and eye on this thread as our home is currently being built. Hoping to move in on Summer but everything is being slower and harder than expected as we are self building.

I'm hoping to move in next month and my first priorities have pretty much been summed up here.
On day 1 I am hoping to change locks, measure up a few things to order furniture and book internet installation. I will also be getting a cleaner in to do a deep clean. My logic is that we are going to be so busy painting and decorating that it will be easier to have a cleaner in to deepclean the kitchen/bathroom etc.
