The key point about the Gigafast+ Hub is it's only available where Sky Broadband is provided over a CityFibre optical circuit.
It's a requirement where the broadband is 2.5Gbs or 5Gbs (exclusively CityFibre speed bands) because all other Sky Hub models are limited to a 1Gbs WAN ethernet port.
I don't know if CityFibre has a presence in NI (or if Sky is using it there) : that's already a heavily saturated market for FTTP and they may not see a viable business opportunity.
