You can get Unlimited Sky Fibre for £26.40 a month including Line Rental for a year. If you don't have Sky TV you can even get the Family pack (Includes boxsets/On Demand but no Sports or Movies) free if you ask me nicely.
Get a cheap gigabit switch?
You'll get Gigabit speeds between all Gigabit capable devices connected to a Gigabit switch. Having one port connected to a 10/100 device (in this case the router) will make no difference. The traffic will take the most direct route rather than always going via the router.

Jumped ship to SSE Ultrafast Fiber today so shall see how it goes. Sales service was very good, friendly and professional. Predicted speeds were in line with expectations and no capped upload speed as with some providers. Just have a bit of a wait for the telephone line to be transferred over as were moving from our present LLU provider to BT Wholesale with SSE. They still do the OR engineer visit to install the modem and we receive I think a technicolor tg799vn through the post for us to set up. No connection charge, router cost or set up fees involved, just the monthly cost of line rental and fiber to start from go live, nothing to pay today, all done through direct debit.
The minimum contract length is 18 months(not 2 years - despite the headline offer).
How long is your actual contract?
The engineer installed my box and open reach modem last week, other than not being able to download at full speed on day 1, the connection has been perfect.
I'm getting 60down and 12up, using my own Asus N56u router.
Apart from the first day where downloading was only going 700kb/s, Ive been able to download at a solid 7.2MB/s now so I'm happy enough with that.
