Paying less than I previously was, so money saving.

With cashback and an offer from Sky the deal I have is cheaper than their lowest speed offering, so money saving.

The same deals may no longer be available of course.

I'm actually with Sky and not long at that but unless you have your own wifi mesh system (or just a 3rd party suitable router if you don't need the landline) I would give them a swerve right now, their Max Hub and possibly some of their nodes seem to have serious issues at the moment. It can be hit or miss but may not be the smart move right now.

I might add I don't have any problems but did shell out for a couple of TP-Link Deco pods in AP mode.

You don't need much at all really. HD streaming needs roughly 5mbps and UHD needs roughly 25mbps, so if you are both streaming UHD at the same time then a 60mbps connection would be more than adequate. I'd imagine that anything you look at will exceed that these days.
