You will be able to watch HD content however would struggle with UHD.  If you also use the internet at the same time as Glass then the low speed would cause issues also.

Hi @ellymay122 

 

Sky glass requires 25Mbps for HD and 30Mbps for UHD as @GD1 indicates, it doesnt leave a lot of headroom for you to use your broadband for other things while watching TV.

@Sandyback What speed should you be getting from Sky for your broadband? If it's slower than promised then you may be able to end your contract for broadband with them without penalty. I did. I moved into a new place last August, Sky installed broadband but the speed was nowhere near the speed I should have been getting for my money. By the end of October I had moved to Vodafone who more than doubled my speed for only £5 more a month. I still had over 12 months to go on my contract.
