1. If I upgrade. How much broadband does it use. (I only have 20 meg as I'm 10 m up a private road and sky won't install fibre)
2. what happens to my sky Q and mini boxes?
3. When I buy it - is it mine? Or does the equipment belong to sky?

Hi @MattJC
Sky recommend 25Mbps for HD and 30Mbps for UHD as a minimum for each Glass/Steam. This would suggest you wouldn't have a good experience and you should stay with Q.
However to answer your questions, your Q kit would need returning to Sky as it is loaned to you. You own the Sky Glass TV, however if you were to add any pucks for 2nd TVs etc these are loaned to you.

Re: Considering upgrading to sky glass.
Personally, I would not consider it an "upgrade" to go from Q to Glass. I would suggest finding a decent tv whether mini-LED or OLED and then you might experience an upgrade with your current Q setup.
