2 different internet providers with Sky Q

Hi - I have Sky Q with 2 additional mini boxes. I currently have the main box hard wired with BT Broadband. The 2 additional boxes frequently lose signal which is very annoying. I also have Gigaclear which is a much faster and more reliable WiFi. My question is can I keep the main box with BT (hardwired) but set up the 2 additional mini boxes with Gigaclear? Thanks

Not possible I'm afraid @marco1066.

The Q Mini boxes will only connect by to the Main Q box with 3rd party broadband.

(Unless you have the option to also hardwire both minis to your BT router.   Either directly or through simple unmanaged Ethernet switches).
