Sky Package Deal - Great saving but still not excited...

SnarkyPuppy

I'm going to get berated for this (and rightly so) but I was recently going through my monthly bills and shockingly realised I'd let my Sky Package contract slip (life got insanely busy) and I had been paying an eye watering £167per month for my TV, Broadband and landline. After getting straight on the phone with them and getting myself a MUCH improved deal of £114.99 per month (a saving of £624 per year!!!) I was delighted!!!.. for about 20minutes. 

I swiftly came onto the MSE forum and was reading up about everyone's Sky deals and sounds like I'm still paying a lot in comparison. I know a lot is to do with specific channel packages and broadband specs etc. but I'm still feeling uneasy about something I can't quite put my finger on. I don't feel like there's anything included in my current pack that I'd like to give up so I should be happier right?

What exactly do you get for your money?    What speed broadband, what TV package and do you get free calls with the landline?        £114 a month to me is incredibly expensive.

I have Sky as well and currently pay £25 a month for 900Mbps broadband, £22 a month for Ultimate TV including netflix and £10 for Sky Cinema.    The only thing I haven't got is the Sky Sports or TNT sports channels and it costs me in total £57 a month.     They do provide me with a landline but I don't use it and don't even have it plugged in - I'm not sure if I get a call package included as I just use my mobile phone for all calls.

I think my breakdown is £29.00 for Sky Signature, £10.99 for Netflix (without ads) £27.00 for Sky Sports Complete HD is £9.00, 500mbps broadband at £38.00 and £1 for WiFi max. 
I barely use my landline so now getting free incoming calls and £0.00 per month, only paying for making calls which I won't do.
I also cancelled my Sky Cinema with Paramount+ that was £13.00 per month.

I'm thinking now I could use the 14 day cooling off period and maybe haggle for an even better deal. Seems so many are not paying anything like I am. hmmmmm *Chin rubbing emoji*

On the TV package only, I'm in the notice period, been offered today Signature £24.50, UHD/HD £5, Sports £18 (Netflix with ads £4.99) so £17.50 better without broadband. Not accepting yet !
