Is the speed check done via the Netflix app on the puck? It's the only way to find out the speed actually being received by the puck. Run it from the get help menu on Netflix. 46Mbps should be OK for running SkyOS but it would need to be stable and not fluctuate much. Sky Stream pucks are reliant on as fast and stable a connection as possible, otherwise it just won't work very well.

Make sure that WiFis turned off on the puck's network settings. It has the annoying habit of not defaulting to ethernet when a cable is attached and will still try to use WiFi.

Re: Sky puck freezing & crashing
This is now getting on my nerves. 6 times yesterday & still freezes on all Sky apps & catch up. Only apps that don't freeze are the ones I pay for. Reset everything check speed stable at about 48Mbs. No equipment close & open to air. Please anyone got ant ideas?

Ring Sky, you've probably got a dodgy puck.

Re: Sky puck freezing & crashing
I've escalated this to Sky and they should be in touch with you soon about it.
Look out for a message from Sky on your email and Sky Community private messages.
Look out for the blue chat bubble within your Sky community.
Note: Escalation conversations automatically close if there is no response within 48 hours.
More about an escalation here;
