Moving away from the Virgin fibre speeds

Has anyone ditched Virgin fibre (I am currently on Gig1) and gone to another supplier such as Sky who can only offer around a 60mbps in their area.

I was wondering about the impact this would have on streaming, business use such as Teams meetings, gaming (2 x xboxes in the house) etc.

I haven't but I understood that with gaming latency is more important on a day to day basis and this is generally better via Openreach operators like Sky.

Downloading large games will still be a lot faster via VM but then how often is this done? 

The minimum/optimum specs for streaming are surprisingly low and are normally easily met by low spec FTTC connections.
