Landline removal

If I move to full fibre broadband provision, without a landline, will my Sky subscription still work ? I thought they check validity of subscription by checking via the landline ? Thanks

'Interactive service' through a dial-up modem hasn't been present on Sky+ / Sky+ HD hardware for many years, and never existed on Sky Q.

 

For the Sky satellite products, subscription verification is by satellite signal.

You will get a phone number but if you choose the pay as you talk tariff no phone means no payment

 

Sky will be updated by openreach as soon as full fibre is available

Any particular services you are worried about losing if you move?
