Does any one know the speed sky glass needed at its inception. I signed up 2yrs ago and have had problems with broadband from early on and this is now catastrophic in terms of interrupted reception including total cessation for ages before anything come back.

The initial advice from launch in October 2021 was revised in April 2023.
Until recently, Sky was stating that the new service would work with any broadband ISP, albeit with the caveat that “all content on Sky Glass or Sky Stream is streamed via broadband, minimum speed of 10Mbps required” (download). The 10Mbps figure reflected their requirement for streaming in at least High Definition (HD) quality, while 25Mbps was only recommended for those streaming in 4K/HDR and with Dolby Atmos.
However, the bad news is that Sky seems to have updated the small print on their Sky Stream product page, which now states this: “All content on Sky Glass or Sky Stream is streamed via broadband, minimum speed of 25mbps required.” In addition, they’ve also raised the recommended speed for those streaming in 4K/HDR and with Dolby Atmos from 25Mbps to 30Mbps.
