BT and Virgin Media rival offers ultimate broadband upgrade at 'lowest ever' price
Anyone looking for a new broadband deal will probably head straight to the main UK providers, such as BT, Sky, and Virgin Media. However, before signing on the dotted line and joining one of these popular firms, it's worth taking time to check out smaller rivals. Alternative networks - or so-called alt-nets - are popping up all over the UK and one is now offering an epic upgrade at a price that's hard to beat.
Community Fibre has just launched a deal that is offering rapid 1Gbps downloads for just £20 per month. That's its lowest ever price for those speeds, which allow homes to download a full HD movie in under 40 seconds. As a quick guide, using a standard 80Mbps plan, it would take around 8 minutes to whizz the same film to TVs.
So, how good is this deal? A quick look at other providers reveals most charge around £30 for similar speeds. For example, Virgin Media currently charges £26.99 for 1GBps speeds, BT's best speeds are priced at £36.99 and Sky has a 900Mbps option for £30.
Clearly, Community Fibre beats all of those rivals, but before you get too excited, there are some things to note.
Unlike BT, Sky and Virgin, Community Fibre is only available across parts of London, which means those outside the capital can't take advantage.
Those who can get access will also see prices rise rise with things going up to £23 from April 2027.
Finally, this sale event only lasts until July 6th so those wanting to take advantage will need to act fast.
