							Sky Q without sky fibre
						
					
					
				
			
		
	
			
	
	
	
	
	
Hi guys. Hopefully this makes sense. 
my sky fibre deal is up and I want to leave.  I had a less than positive experience 12 months ago with the technical guy and swore to leave. My contract is now up so looking at leaving but a bit confused. 
I had issues with internet going off last year. All the router lights were green but I would randomly stop working. Every day often multiple times. After a minor disagreement with the technical guy at sky who claimed there was nothing wrong and I was "wrong" (if it ain't working, it ain't working) I ended up digging an old tenda nova mesh system out the loft and using that. Never had an issue since so this is my set up. 
Sky Q mainbox
sky Q mini x 2
sky router. 
I have one nova unit plugged into the back of the router with another next to my main Q box which has the tv connected by Ethernet. 
the last nova unit is upstairs and the tv is plugged into that by Ethernet. 
every device in my house except the sky is connected to these nova units. Since then everything has worked fine. 
(Prior to using the novas my tvs were connected by Ethernet to each Q or mini, I've never had any luck in my house getting a reliable connection over WiFi on any of my Samsung tv's)
So I'm looking at possibly Vodafone fibre. I'd be more than willing to upgrade the nova units to something better but want to understand if what I'm thinking is correct first. 
can I switch to Vodafone fibre. Plug a nova into the back of that router. Then plug a nova into the Q box and also the minis so they are basically then wired to the network?  Similar I guess to a power line set up?
will all that work? 
sorry. Not very technical but don't understand any of this stuff.

Yes that should work as long as the backhaul of your Nova devices is strong enough
