Ultrafast broadband deals

'Ultrafast' has a number of different meanings depending on which provider you ask. Broadly, though, it's a package that's faster than standard fibre (also called FTTC), which maxes out at about 80Mbps. Speeds for 'Ultrafast' then, have a wide range. Sadly, the availability also falls off a cliff, so you'll have to check if you can get it where you live. Having said all that, here are the best ultrafast deals for Black Friday.
