Any problems watching Sky Q via 4G home broadband from 3 mobile?

Hello,
Can anyone share their experiences of the sort of problems I expect can with watching my Sky Q via multiscreen on HD, if I switch to 4G Home Broadband with 3 mobile?
Am currently with Virgin on their M500 package but the costs have doubled and I don't fancy paying any more, as it wasn't that great anyway.
I hear good things about the 4g broadband and figured 3’s unlimited would be useful, but can't find anything on whether or not they work well with Sky Q.
Any help would be apricated.
Thanks
Ant

Officially (or at least til recently) there was fine print on the sky site to say 4G wasn't supported and if I remember correctly that specifically applied to downloading.

Personally I've used Q with 4G in Ireland for about 3 years. I found no huge impact using the boxes except for speed fluctuations causing menus to sometimes load slowly.

I had major issues with downloads for a while which then improved.

It wouldn't be my choice to go back to wireless broadband ahead of wired but if you are, see if you could try some kind of pre pay version even for a month before fully committing.

If the reviews Here and Here are anything to go by, I'd be sceptical.

5G maybe. I wouldn't trust 4G for my internet connection.
