I currently have 'standard' Sky TV and I am able to trade 'Live' football as its 1/2 seconds behind the Live action seemingly. (Give or take sometimes its a bit more). Im looking at getting Sky Q is the Delay greater?

It depends which box you are watching (assuming you have more than one)
The primary box is around the same delay as a standard box - but the main box streams to the other boxes using a mesh network - it adds about another second possibly two to the latency.
hope this helps.

Any edge you thought you might have watching “live” soccer on Sky Q might be misplaced !
I have the fastest connection possible and there is still suspended markets well before the ball hits the back of the net...If I was relying on streaming BT sport through broadband only...2 minutes is not unusual.
I just watch the match and hope that the market suspends when a goal kick from your team is taken...as it maybe due to a goal...minutes later ...
Maybe not that slow but definitely well behind live play....
