If you're in the market for an upgrade to ultrafast broadband, or you're looking for the fastest download speeds possible, then check out this deal from Virgin Media. 

At the moment you can get Virgin Media's Gig1 Fibre Broadband for £45 per month - this gives you huge average download speeds of 1,130Mbps, even at peak times. It's an 18-month contract, there aren't any setup fees and it of course comes with unlimited data. After 18 months, the cost goes back up to £62 per month, the original price for this package.

Gig1 is the fastest fibre broadband Virgin Media has to offer. At this price, it's also one of the cheapest gigabit broadband options you can get right now. The package also comes with Virgin's state-of-the-art Hub 5 router, which features the latest in WiFi 6 protocols and offers compatibility with WiFi boosters. If you're an O2 customer, you can even get extra perks and benefits through your O2 Priority account. 

However, whether or not you can make the most of this deal depends on your property's access to Virgin Media's fibre network - most specifically you'll need a 'Fibre to the premises' (FTTP) connection. 

You can check this with Virgin Media when you click through to the deal, but if it turns out you can't get Gig1 right now, why not have a look at our broadband deals page for more offers instead?

Will I be able to make the most of a gigabit broadband package?
