Best NBN 750 plans: which providers take the lead for this speedy new 250Mbps replacement?

According to NBN Co, the new plans are rolling out on September 14, 2025. However, this will be the date that plans will be available at a wholesale level for retail service providers, and not necessarily consumers.

There is currently no definitive answer as to how NBN 750 plans will be made available to end users, as each retail service provider (RSP) is free to decide exactly how it will implement the changes. However, several providers that we monitor have flicked the switch, with plenty of 750Mbps readily available to order now.

One provider — SpinTel — led the early launch club in debuting 750Mbps plans ahead of time. Meanwhile, other providers, like Dodo, have already announced that their current 250Mbps offering will be boosted to 750Mbps for FTTP and HFC customers from October 1, 2025.

We anticipate that most providers will likely have plans available to order in early October.

According to the NBN Co, NBN 250 wholesale speeds will increase to a theoretical maximum of 750Mbps downloads and 50Mbps uploads.

If speed boosts are fully passed on by RSPs (and for traffic within Australia, there’s no obvious reason why they shouldn’t be), NBN 750 plans will therefore provide theoretical speeds of up to 750Mbps during the typical evening hours of 7pm-11pm. Upload speeds should also approach 50Mbps.

Do keep in mind that the 750Mbps figure is theoretical, meaning that not all customers will be able to access those speeds in the real world due to various factors including connection type, location and provider. However, considering most NBN 250 plans achieve close to their maximum theoretical speeds, it’s likely that RSPs will eventually pass on this boost to end users and increase their claimed typical evening speeds to match.

What we don't know is how these new speeds will impact international internet speeds, which travels beyond the NBN. International fibre pipelines connect Aussies to services and sites hosted in other countries, such as online games servers and streaming platforms. These speeds are largely dependent on each RSP's own capacity to handle international bandwidth, which can vary greatly.

Thankfully, major sites such as YouTube, Meta and Netflix have dedicated Australian servers, and the speed increase may fundamentally deliver faster connections to these platforms. However, for other sites hosted in overseas locations, some RSPs may not have enough bandwidth to simultaneously handle thousands of customers suddenly downloading at 3x their previous speeds — particularly during the peak evening hours.

With NBN Co providing these speed upgrades to providers at no cost, NBN 750 plans should theoretically be priced similarly to NBN 250 plans — which, as of September 2025, is AU$107.17 per month. And that sentiment does ring true, with the average price of 750Mbps plans being AU$107.15 per month — that's a whole 2c cheaper!

NBN plan pricing does differ greatly between telcos, though, with the most expensive NBN 750 provider right now being Origin, which charges AU$129p/m. The cheapest provider is SpinTel, which charges AU$80p/m before increasing to AU$90.95p/m after six months.

Much like other NBN plans, it undoubtedly pays to shop around for the best NBN 750 deals.

As with the current NBN 250 plans, NBN 750 will only be available to homes and businesses with either fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) or hybrid fibre coaxial (HFC) connection types.

If you’re on another NBN connection type, such as FTTN, you’ll likely need to upgrade to a full fibre installation to access NBN 750 plans. Thankfully, many properties are eligible for NBN Co's free fibre rollout program, which is set to provide over 10 million households with 2Gbps-capable FTTP by the end of 2025. If you want to jump into the superfast lane but haven't upgraded yet, you can check your eligibility on NBN Co's website.

If you're contemplating the switch to an NBN 750 plan, there are a few things you should consider. First off, your chosen NBN plan will depend on your household's internet needs and connection type. We've already covered the connection types you'll need above, so let's talk speeds.

If you're already on a 250Mbps plan and connect via HFC or FTTP, your plan should, in theory, automatically upgrade to NBN 750 with the speed boost. However, NBN 250 plans aren't the only ones getting accelerated this year. NBN 100 plans will get a 5x maximum speed increase to 500Mbps, and at a wholesale level, NBN 1000 plans will have their included bandwidth increased to support a minimum speed of 750Mbps. (This could, in turn, help more providers finally offer ‘true’ gigabit plans that reach 1,000Mbps typical evening speeds.) Alongside these increases, NBN 2000 plans have been introduced for FTTP and HFC addresses.

So, in essence, all NBN 100 plans and above should automatically get upgraded to faster speeds. You might wonder whether upgrading to an NBN 750 plan is really necessary, and to that, we say that if you're a heavy internet user, can afford it, or just want to test out these turbocharged speeds when they become available, then go for it. However, if you’re already on an NBN 100 plan, you may be satisfied with the 5x speed boost that’s coming to NBN 100, and find there's no need to switch plans or providers after all. And if you’re already on NBN 250, you might, in fact, want to consider downgrading from an NBN 250 to an NBN 100, which should still theoretically double your current speeds.
