Mobile and internet provider giffgaff, which is owned by Telefónica UK (VMO2), has today informed ISPreview that their recently launched (here) full fibre broadband products for homes – powered by nexfibre and Virgin Media’s networks – have now been made available to people living in the Cathedral City of Chester (Cheshire, England).
Just to recap. giffgaff are offering three unlimited plans on a monthly rolling (30-day) term – the 200Mbps (symmetric) service costs £30 per month, while 500Mbps is £32 and their top 900Mbps tier is £35 – plus installation is currently free. Customers in nexfibre areas who sign-up to this service can expect to receive an Amazon eero 6+ router (inc. giffgaff branded User Interface) and engineers will also install an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) from Arcadyan Technology (PB6802B-LG) inside your home.
The catch is that giffgaff have been conducting a gradual, phased regional roll-out. As it stands, the service is now available to over 360,000 properties in North West England, as well as select locations in North West England, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands and rolling out in the North East, Scotland, South West and Wales and then across more locations before the end of the year and into 2026
So Chester is just the latest location to be added in this ongoing process, which does make things quite confusing for consumers. But we note that the prices have been reduced a bit more since the packages first went live in September 2025.
