NBN 2000 plans have arrived: here's how much those blistering 2Gbps speeds will set you back

The day has officially arrived — it's NBN 2000 time! In an event that feels like 'NBN Christmas', NBN Co has delivered on its promise to turbocharge Aussie internet speeds by unleashing a range of plan upgrades alongside a new speedy flagship tier.

With a range of changes were officially unlocked by NBN Co yesterday (September 14, 2025), we've been especially keen to to finally learn more about the new fastest option, NBN 2000. This tier takes the helm for the top NBN speeds in Australia, with theoretical maximum downloads of 2,000Mbps on offer.

I use the term 'theoretical' here for a number of reasons: first, real-world speeds may differ, and second, real-world speed data for this tier is still very much TBC at this stage. We'd expect 'typical evening speed' claims (e.g. what you'll realistically get during the busy evening hours) among NBN 2000 providers to vary, much like they have done for NBN 1000 plans, which range from between 700Mbps to 900Mbps.

So, while true speed information may be hard to ascertain for another few months, there's one factor that we do have real numbers for, and that's pricing. At the time of writing, the cost of signing up to an NBN 2000 plan averages at an eyewatering AU$167p/m, or AU$48.62 more than what you'll pay for an NBN 1000 plan (the next tier down).

Despite the mind-bending monthly pricing, when broken down into cost-per-megabit, this sets up the tier as highly competitive, coming to AU$0.08 per megabit. For comparison, the average per-megabit cost of an NBN 1000 plan is AU$0.11.

Right now, four providers have listed their NBN 2000 plans as readily available to purchase. For comparison's sake, I've popped the ongoing rates and yearly costs into a table below:

The current cheapest NBN 2000 provider is Southern Phone, costing just AU$149p/m ongoing – AU$15 cheaper than the next best option. As we've noted above, there's currently no typical evening speed (TES) data available for NBN 2000 plans, however Southern Phone's NBN 1000 plan does promise reasonably high TES download speeds of 860Mbps, so we'd expect the new tier to be similarly competitive.

Southern Phone's 'Hyperfast' offering is the cheapest NBN 2000 option currently available. This plan suggests that it's suitable for 10+ users, with multiple devices and up to 8K streaming resolution.

Southern Phone's plan comes with unlimited data and works on a no-lock-in-contract month-to-month basis, so you can cancel and switch to another provider if you find they're not for you.

Total minimum cost: AU$149 | Total yearly cost: AU$1,788

On the flip side, taking the most expensive spot for NBN 2000 right now is Aussie Broadband, setting you back AU$189p/m ongoing for its 2Gbps plan. Aussie Broadband actually has three NBN 2000 plans on offer, with two standard plans priced at AU$189p/m, and a Pro plan – which boosts uploads to 500Mbps and is exclusive to FTTP customers – priced at AU$220p/m.

The reason Aussie has two standard plans is that its clearly separated what to expect based on your connection type; both FTTP and HFC addresses should be able to achieve similar downloads speeds, but HFC can't reach the 200Mbps uploads of FTTP, an peaks at 100Mbps. The AU$189p/m price, however, remains the same regardless of connection tech.

Aussie Broadband's hyperfast lineup goes beyond other providers with not one, but three plans under the 2Gbps umbrella.

ABB separates its FTTP and HFC customers into different plans, with the former technology capable of a maximum of 200Mbps uploads, while HFC customers will only see (at most) half that, at 100Mbps. Both are priced at AU$189p/m.

Aussie's extra 2Gbps offering is its Hyperfast Pro plan, which claims a massive 500Mbps uploads for $220p/m (or an extra AU$31). Aussie doesn't yet have real-world figures for what kinds of top speeds these plans will deliver, so if you sign up now you'll need to be prepared to be a bit of a guinea pig.

Total minimum cost: AU$189 | Total yearly cost: AU$2,268

While I anticipate some more competitive NBN 2000 deals will come to light in the coming weeks, it's unsurprising that 2Gbps plans will indeed cost you a motza.

Multi-gigabit plans are exclusively available to FTTP and HFC connection types. If you're eligible for full fibre but haven’t upgraded already, you can sign up for NBN Co’s free fibre rollout via your preferred provider.

You’ll also need a multi-gigabit compatible NTD box to access these plans. You can check NBN Co’s website to see if your address is eligible for a new device, with NTD upgrades set to roll out this month.

If you're considering the switch to one of the new high-speed plans, but don't need the download speeds and pricing that come with 2Gbps, you can check out our readers' most popular NBN plans over 500Mbps in the widget below.
