As a broadband plan expert, this bonkers new deal on 1Gbps NBN is frankly unmissable

As someone who spends way too much time researching internet plans, it's hard to come by a great deal and not shout about it — especially if it’s one from a top-rated NBN provider.

Over the last couple of years, Superloop has been one of the smaller local providers that I’ve found myself constantly recommending thanks to its mix of fast evening speeds, great customer service and (most importantly) its competitively low pricing. The latter is arguably even better right now, as Superloop is holding a‘Super Speed Sale’, which offers up to AU$180 off its turbocharged NBN plans in the first six months.

Superloop's NBN 1000 (aka 1Gbps) plan is currently my top recommendation for gamers, streamers and heavy internet users alike. Netting a typical evening speed (or TES, i.e. real-world speeds when everyone is home) of 860Mbps, this plan has more than enough power to fuel all the most demanding homes full of internet-connected devices — the work laptops, the kids' streaming, gaming consoles, and yes, even your dog's Wi-Fi-controlled water bowl — all without buffering interruptions or lag. Plus, all Superloop plans work on a no lock-in contract basis with unlimited data and an optional free Amazon eero 7 Wi-Fi modem-router if you stay connected for at least 36 months. How's that for a good deal?

You'll need to act fast to secure the discount on these ultrafast speeds, however — Superloop's Speed Sale will end on March 12, 2026.

Superloop | NBN 1000 | Unlimited data | No lock-in contract | AU$79p/m

Superloop | NBN 1000 | Unlimited data | No lock-in contract | AU$79p/m (for 6 months, then AU$109p/m)

For a limited time, Superloop's gigabit plan has been slashed by AU$30p/m for the first six months, resulting in a massive AU$180 total discount. Advertising lightning-fast speeds of 860Mbps in the busy evening hours (and we’ve seen real-world users’ speed tests showing that it regularly exceeds them), Superloop's NBN 1000 plan is a must-have for any bandwidth-hungry household.

To take advantage of these incredible savings, you'll need to have a compatible NBN connection type at home – either fibre to the premises (FTTP) or hybrid fibre coax (HFC). If you're not sure which NBN connection type you have, Superloop can help you check your address and, if available, get your connection upgraded.

Total minimum cost: AU$79 | Total first year cost: AU$1,128 | Yearly cost after discount: AU$1,308

Now, if you own an Xbox, PlayStation or Nintendo Switch console or enjoy online gaming every night, Superloop's NBN 1000 plan is definitely worth considering.

The average game update — say for Call of Duty or Fortnite — can easily impact a 100Mbps connection for several hours, which is not ideal if you have roommates or fellow family members trying to get online at the same time. With its advertised 860Mbps TES, Superloop’s gigabit plan has enough bandwidth for everyone to simultaneously game, scroll and stream all at once, with minimal to no disruptions. And thanks to the telco's subsea fibre cables, Superloop can offer gamers faster connections to overseas servers in Asia and the US, all while delivering low ping speeds and less lag.

You don’t need to take our (or Superloop’s) word for it – even when it comes to the hard-hitting, objective numbers courtesy of the ACCC, Superloop often overperforms, consistently achieving over 100.0% of advertised plan speeds across all hours of the day – so in many situations, you may be able to access even faster speeds than the 860Mbps advertised. Superloop also just took out a second consecutive award from Ookla – the company behind Speedtest.net – for having the Fastest Fixed Network in Australia.

Many Superloop plans optionally include the Amazon eero 7 router for free (or the eero Pro 7 for 2Gbps connections) if you stay connected for 36 months. Be aware, however, that if you cancel your service before the 36 months are up, you'll need to pay AU$5.50 per month for any time remaining for the eero 7 – that’s a maximum charge of AU$198 if you leave after one month.

If you're not in the market for ultrafast speeds, Superloop's Speed Sale does extend to its slower NBN offerings, including a neat AU$65p/m deal on its NBN 500 plan. You can check out the entirety of Superloop's discounted plans on its website.
