Is it worth going back to Sky

I, like many others, made the decision to completely divest myself from Sky last year in an effort to try and make some savings but with all the price rises coming in over the various offerings I have I'm wondering if it might be worth going back to a single source.

My current setup is:

Broadband (FTTC only) - £24 (guaranteed until Apr 2026)
Now TV - £6.99 (will go up to £9.99 in July) with Boost £2 until Aug
Netflix - £12.99

I also have Disney+ premium at £12.99 but I wont include this as no provider bundles it. So I'm looking at around £45 per month for Broadband and TV plus Netflix. Are there any deals at Sky that are better?

FYI, despite my comment about divesting from Sky I do know that Now Broadband and TV are operated by Sky.

Have you tried asking Sky what they can offer you?

Do you need Netflix and Now?

There's only a handful of shows on Sky which aren't on free-to-air and you can spend more time on Neflix looking for something to watch than actually watching it!

You are paying over the odds on NOW at £6.99 (I have £3.99 and £4.99 is common) and NF with ads is £5.99 instead of £12.99 for ad free

Keep the broadband and use sky stream.  £15pm includes Netflix

I don't see much difference between sky stream and just keep using Now TV and a separate Netflix with ads account, in fact it's cheaper. as I am.

Have you actually worked out how much time you spend watching each of these, that would give you a much better idea of which ones are worth having or those that are just a waste of time and money.
TBH are there enough hours in the day to actually get a reasonable return on all of them.

If you want Disney+ for free, you could open a Lloyds bank Club Lloyds account. This includes Disney+ (with ads) subscription. 

The account has a £5 a month fee, but this is waived if you pay £2000 into the account each month. I have a standing order which pays £2k in at the start of the month then pays it back to my main account a day later.
