Exactly! That was my sole reason for moving away from Sky Q with mini boxes which were constantly losing signal.
I now have UHD and Dolby Atmos in 6 rooms.
I am also semi-rural and was limited to slow fibre to the cabinet internet. I had 2 lines , one 30 meg and one 40 meg which were linked using a load balancing router. The pucks coped with this set up as it is unusual for more than a couple of pucks to be streaming 4K atmos at the same time. Yes, there are occasional glitches which require a reboot of a puck, but now that they are all connected to smart plugs which force a reboot during the night these glitches are few and far between.
However, one day I noticed that my phone was occasionally connecting to 5g in my home. On further investigation of mobile provider maps I discovered that EE 5g and Three 5g were now available in a tiny spot just over the top of my house. Their internet services were not open to me but there's nothing to prevent you getting hold of your own 5g router and a data sim. Despite being more than a mile away from any mobile towers I now have a solid connection to Three of 870Mbps and EE at 190 Mbps. (Each through a different window in my house.)
There have been some problems in the past with Sky pucks not working properly with Three internet. I haven't experienced any of those problems. I have tried my pucks both wired and wireless with no issues.
Maybe this is because I am using unlimited data sims rather than the provider's internet connections and so they are not force feeding me software updates which might introduce problems.
The point that I make here is that if you are stuck with a slow internet over copper connection don't rule out 5g if it is available to you. I got an excellent deal on the Three data sim on Amazon which worked out at less than £7 a month until December 1925 and I already had my EE sim which came as an extra sim on my phone deal.
The hardware of the puck is substandard, and accessing catch-up services (which are hosted remotely and not on the puck or Glass tv itself) takes longer than using (for instance) the much higher spec Apple TV box.
If you can tolerate that (and the monthly cost) then Sky's integration of the catch-up services and particularly the ability to play a currently live program from the start is, in my opinion, superior to what is available on Apple TVs, Nvidia Shields, Fire Cubes Rokus etc and I have all of the major brands.
Manual fast forwarding is a pain but using voice commands to forward and reverse a certain period of time
works well once you get used to it.
