I have recently upgraded to gigafast from 500mbps. Will I receive a gigafast hub or will I keep my current one

I've just done the same, I was told on live chat the hub I have will be sufficient.

@elfy-rune & @NickNewark the black Sky Broadband hub works with the 900Mb/s services and you can get the full sped over an Ethernet cable if you have a device that can use the full bandwidth. The WiFi connection is only WiFi5 so tops out at around 800Mb/s which you should get in the same area as the hub and is more than sufficent for most any normal usage. Spedds will drop in rooms further from the hub.

The alternative white Sky Max hub will allow the full 900Mb/s in the area near the hub as it supports WiFi6 but thecspedds in morecdistant rooms are very similar to the black hub. You can get one of these if you pay for the WiFi Max add-on. Personally having tried both there is little difference in evry day usage so unless you need tge extras that WiFi Max includes like Extenders and Parental controls I wouldn't bother.
