Ring o2 and tell them that you are moving in to the new property in a few weeks. Say that you have a phone with them and have seen their 100 day money back guarantee offer on their site. However this is set to end at the end of March but as a goodwill gesture could they extend it for you? See here:

broadband.o2.co.uk/guarantee.jspIts worth a go and they can only say no can't they?
Also you say:
"Now my obvious temptation is to use Sky, as I can utilize the connections already in place.The problem with that is once the person in the house at present moves out Sky Broadband will be removed from the line. It has to be as the contract for broadband is with the house owner and not the house.
This means that the line "should" be free of any broadband service giving you the option to select who you want.
Have a look here to compare:

Just to add. Sky HD is a real eyeopener. There may not be many channels yet but more are being added all the time "there were two new ones added last week"
Have a look here too:

www.avforums.com/forums/ ··· hp?f=261 this forum sometimes lists where good deals can be had for Sky HD. I got it last year for only £90 as the forum mentioned that Comet were doing a special. I rang Sky direct at the time and they quoted me over £200! even though I had been a Sky customer "on the full package" for seven years. Its crazy how Comet could offer a much cheaper price that Sky themselves.
Hope this all helps.
