Superloop’s new crazy-fast NBN plans have arrived – with a free Wi-Fi 7 eero router in tow

New NBN speed tiers have just dropped in the past week, propelling Australian internet speeds into a whole new league. Since the official launch, one of our top-rated telcos has come out blazing with a refreshed lineup comprising some seriously fast speeds at wallet-friendly prices.

Introducing three new plans to its already extensive lineup, Superloop has laid us a golden goose-sized egg with its latest revisions. The new offerings include the Family Max plan (NBN 500), Megaspeed plan (NBN 750), and the mammoth Hyperspeed plan (NBN 2000). All three offerings are exclusive to FTTP (fibre to the premises) and HFC (hybrid fibre coax) addresses, in line with NBN Co's speed bestowal eligibility.

Some existing plans have seen slight tweaks, too, so here’s the full rundown of what’s new or changed.

Superloop's revised NBN plans

• Superloop Creator NBN 250/100 (TES: 250/85): AU$85p/m (for 6 months, then AU$99p/m)
• Superloop Family Max NBN 500/50 (TES: 500/40): AU$75p/m (for 6 months, then AU$95p/m)
• Superloop Megaspeed NBN 750/50 (TES TBC): AU$89p/m (for 6 months, then AU$104p/m)
• Superloop Lightspeed NBN 1000/100 (TES: 860/85): AU$85p/m (for 6 months, then AU$109p/m)
• Superloop Hyperspeed NBN 2000/200 on FTTP and 2000/100 on HFC (TES TBC): AU$145p/m (for 6 months, then AU$165p/m)

The two revised plans include welcome upload upgrades for both the NBN 250 and NBN 1000 tiers, with each jumping to 100Mbps. Technically, that NBN 250/100 option is an entirely new plan that’s a Superloop invention – it’s intended for those who need extreme 100Mbps upload speeds (e.g. content creators) and are fine with 250Mbps for downloads. As usual, Superloop NBN home broadband plans work on a no-lock-in contract basis, so you can switch around to find the best fit, and all plans come with unlimited data.

The star of the Superloop show, though, is perhaps the new Hyperspeed plan, which turbocharges the fastest speeds available in Australia to a massive potential maximum speed of 2Gbps (or 2,000Mbps) – while it’s too early to calculate what kind of real-world speeds this new tier will deliver, theoretically it should be twice as fast as what you’ll get from NBN 1000. (For both the 750Mbps and 2,000Mbps tiers, Superloop has stated it will publish typical evening speeds once it collects a sufficient amount of data.)

In addition, all these new plans optionally come with a free Amazon eero 7 Wi-Fi system when you stay connected to Superloop for 36 months. As a mesh Wi-Fi system, eero 7 works to eliminate dead spots by distributing fast, reliable wireless coverage across your entire home. If you want to extend that coverage even further, you can optionally add on an additional eero 7 router for AU$199, paying either upfront or over 12 or 24 months in monthly instalments. Each eero 7 router can support up to 120 devices, and households needing maximum coverage can even bundle two additional eero 7 routers for AU$359 (with the same payment options mentioned previously).

Superloop | NBN 2000 | AU$145p/m (for 6 months, then AU$165p/m)

Hot off the press is Superloop's Hyperspeed plan, which advertises theoretical maximum potential speeds of 2,000/200Mbps on FTTP, or 2,000/100Mbps on HFC. These seriously hyperfast speeds can accommodate the largest of families with the most demanding users, providing more than enough bandwidth for high-res streaming, gaming and video calls at the same time.

Slicing AU$20p/m off the price for the first six months, you'll save an impressive AU$120 in total. Considering NBN 2000 plans average around AU$174p/m right now (based on our calculations using seven providers), this is a good deal shy of that.

Notable freebies include an Amazon eero 7 router when you stay connected for 36 months, which can support up to 2.5Gbps speeds across your devices. You can optionally add on additional eero 7 devices to extend your wireless coverage, if desired (see above for more details). So, if you're keen to have all the megabits on offer with a 2Gbps plan, Superloop's has our tentative stamp of approval.

Total minimum cost: AU$145 | Total first year cost: AU$1,860 | Total yearly cost: AU$1,980

Superloop is a Tom’s Guide preferred partner (What does this mean?)

Now, 2Gbps worth of download speeds should more than satisfy any internet cravings you or your family may have – and then some. To be honest, though, most households won't need that much bandwidth when it comes to day-to-day internet use.

If this is the case, Superloop's NBN 500 and NBN 750 plans are also worth considering, especially if you already have an NBN 100 or NBN 250 plan. For anyone on FTTP or HFC, NBN Co has been very clear that the new 500Mbps and 750Mbps tiers are intended to replace the existing 100Mbps and 250Mbps ones, at no extra cost to the customer.

Superloop’s new NBN 500 and NBN 750 plans cost the same as their slower forebears, but offer up to 5x more speed. Plus, both come with the same free Amazon eero 7 router when you stay connected for 36 months.

Superloop | NBN 500 | AU$75p/m (for 6 months, then AU$95p/m)

Reaching typical evening speeds of 500Mbps downloads and 40Mbps uploads, Superloop's Family Max plan is as competitive as they get. With a low introductory rate of just AU$75p/m, you'll save AU$120 total before the price returns to its usual AU$95p/m ongoing rate.

This plan also comes with a free Amazon eero 7 router when you stay connected for 36 months and it also qualifies for Superloop’s My Speed Boost feature, which lets you bump your plan up to operate at NBN 1000 speeds for up to 5 days a month – handy if you want a bit of extra bandwidth to download big files, like new-release PC or console games.

As with all these new high-speed plans, note that your premises will need to have either an FTTP or HFC NBN connection.

Superloop | NBN 750 | AU$89p/m (for 6 months, then AU$104p/m)

Again, it’s a bit too early to have accurate ‘typical evening speed’ numbers for this new plan, but theoretically it’s capable of a maximum potential speed of 750Mbps downloads and 50Mbps uploads. Superloop's Megaspeed plan will net you AU$90 worth of savings in the first half year, before the price increases to AU$104p/m ongoing.

Much like the other new offerings, Superloop's NBN 750 plan optionally comes with a free Amazon eero 7 router when you stay connected for 36 months, and works on a no-lock-in contract basis.

As with the NBN 500 plan above, you’ll also get five free My Speed Boost credits to use each month, which can increase your connection to operate at NBN 1000 speeds for 24 hours.

Total minimum cost: AU$89 | Total first year cost: AU$1,158 | Total yearly cost: AU$1,248

What if I don't have FTTP or HFC at my address?

On an older connection technology and haven't taken advantage of NBN Co's free fibre rollout program yet? Don't fret — it’s likely you can still order one of these great high-speed plans through Superloop, but you'll need to check some criteria first.

For starters, you can check your current NBN connection type at your address using Superloop's website. If you have a fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) or fibre-to-the-curb (FTTC) connection at home, your area may be eligible for an upgrade in the coming months. If you have a fibre-to-the-building (FTTB) connection, you won't be able to access these plans.

Once you've checked that your address is eligible for an FTTP upgrade and ordered your new plan, Superloop will submit the upgrade request, then connect your premises when the fibre is activated.
