I switched to Sky Glass shortly after replacing Virgin fibre with Gigacube.
Sky Glass is a complete streaming service for all content.
It seems that Gigacube has a habit of causing the Sky service to drop out from time to time which leads to picture freeze and a very angry wife.
I read that the 5G service is set up to prioritise voice traffic and this can lead to occasional speed reductions, but I have not experienced any problems with other streaming services so I'm not really sure.
Any ideas on fixing this would be appreciated.

I think you are quite correct and I did expect Vodafone to be slow.
It was always my plan to move to 3 or EE once they have 5G in my location having tracked a source to unlock the router once the minimum term has elapsed.
I think a supplementary fibre connection for streaming may offer the best overall solution.
Only £28 per month from Virgin.
