@Scotty1956dex As you have already been advised by the previous post any BB provider can be used. At my location I can't even get Sky BB.
The important thing is to make sure you BB is fast and stable enough. Sky's minimum recommended BB speeds are as follows:
HD = 25mbps
UHD = 30mbps
HD + 1 puck = 30mbps
UHD + 1 puck = 35mbps
These are the speeds needed at the puck or Glass and not that being received by the router which can often be significantly different.
If my post has solved your issue please mark as an "Answer"

Re: Sky stream
The altnet ISPs that use sets of non determined UK IPs is a problem with Sky Q also, its not unique to Sky Stream.
We can escalate an customer, if their ISP is using such ranges, to add or investigate.
4g and/or5g home broadband works fine with Sky Stream and Sky Q if its using one of the EE, O2 or Three etc recommended 4g and/or 5g home broadband packages and dedicated routers.
One router that works well for many is the Zyxel range like the NR5103e.
Sky Stream with two pucks (Former Sky Q and Sky+ customer), Sky Ultrafast + using Sky SR203 hub. Sky Protect kit tester.
My good journey to Sky Stream from Sky Q. Click here to read
