We are in an area where fibre is a long way off. Our current FTTC broadband is ok, but there has always been an issue with my wife's work VPN and the upload speed has been slow.
So we have decided to try three home broadband. The speeds are a lot better, download is up to 180mbps (slowest has been 45) and the upload has been over 3 times faster. The only thing not working on the network is the sky stream. I have moved the picture quality down to 720p, changed the audio.
Three have implemented their fixes for latency and the issue persists. I have hard wired the network at home as well as trying the WiFi.
im trying to get the DNS changed to a public one, but are there any other fixes for Latency issues?

Suggest you read my post on a thread earlier this month on 4g/5g home broadband.
Would suggest reading the last two paragraphs of my post, for a possible solution that may help and to get some further advice.

The issue you will face with using three mobile broadband is latency. I would never use mobile broadband with Sky stream for this reason. Streaming isn't a simple science of high speeds equals good performance, low latency is just as important and mobile broadband will not provide this.

You may be better off with a NOW TV subscription on a streaming device such as a Firestick for Sky programming. I've just set my in-laws up with this as they have very poor broadband speeds where they live.
The NOW app is much less susceptible to glitching than Sky Stream and can sustain a stable stream on much lower speeds.
