Community Fibre

I'm thinking of changing to Community Fibre as the speeds seem a lot faster for the same price as what I'm paying now. Is this too good a deal? Is there a catch?
Speeds of up to 920 for £26 a month which is what I'm paying for 150.
Or I can get 150 speeds for £18.99.
And also, this all aside, how much hassle is it to actually change broadband? I work from home and need the internet. They have mentioned putting a hole in the wall, but there is already one from when my current company drilled one.

Community Fibre will need to bring their own fibre to your property, either underground or via a pole, depending on how your property is served, and yes they will need to drill a hole and fit their terminating equipment inside.
CF use CGNAT, there are a number of issues that it can cause, mainly if you want to host anything at home but should be fine for most users.
It would be advisable to get the new service installed and working before cancelling the current of you cant afford any breaks in service.
More speed is great, but just be aware that you may notice any difference, depending on your usage0
