Depends on what your current broadband speed is and the quality of your home networking. 

The Sky Glass TVs are variable in terms of reliability. If your broadband network is not 100% stable then don't bother. 

If you're not tech savvy then it's probably worth looking elsewhere. Sky Stream is entirely self-setup with no engineer support. It's up to you to troubleshoot your broadband network if you run into difficulties with it. Some people have no issues, some people have many issues. 

Sky Q still tends to be the more reliable service because it relies on a Sky engineer installing a satellite dish and the cabling to your Q box in order for you to receive the service. If it fails, they'll come and fix it. With Sky Glass you own the TV from the moment you start paying for it. If something goes wrong with it you have to troubleshoot it yourself with advice from Sky. Nobody will come to your home to fix it.
