Superloop Launches Hyperspeed Plan with Blazing-Fast NBN 2000 Speeds

Superloop now offers blazing-fast NBN 2000 internet speeds, reaching up to 1.7 Gbps during evening peak hours, as part of its innovative "Hyperspeed" plan. This speed is double the previously available maximum speed for users in Australia, which was 1 Gigabit per second.

Superloop offers these incredible speeds at a competitive price, starting from AUD 145 per month for the first six months, then AUD 165 per month thereafter. It's worth noting that this speed is comparable to what Superloop offers for its NBN 1000 plan, which reaches up to 860 Mbps.

Requirements for Subscribing to the Superloop NBN 2000 Plan

To benefit from the NBN 2000 plan, you must have a specific connection type available in your home: either Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) or Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC).

• Fibre to the Premises (FTTP): Also known as "Fibre to the Home," this is a premium type of NBN connection that uses a dedicated fiber optic cable running directly from the nearest fiber optic node of the NBN Co network to the user's premises. This technology provides the fastest and most reliable broadband speeds in Australia, due to its full reliance on optical fiber without the use of older copper cables. Source 1, Source 2.
• Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC): This NBN connection type reuses existing cable networks for "Pay TV" or cable services, previously operated by companies such as Telstra and Optus, to provide broadband internet service to homes and businesses. This technology combines fiber optic cables and coaxial cables for the final connection to premises. Source 1, Source 2.

Upload speeds also vary based on the connection type, reaching up to 200 Mbps via FTTP and 100 Mbps via HFC (with a typical upload speed of 85 Mbps for HFC connections from Superloop).

Network Terminating Device (NTD) and Installation Process

Additionally, you will need a new Network Terminating Device (NTD) from NBN Co installed in your home. The Network Terminating Device (NTD) is the equipment provided by NBN Co and installed at the customer's premises to terminate the NBN cable and provide connection points for the user's router.

Superloop will arrange an appointment with a technician for the installation of the device. While awaiting installation, you can temporarily choose an NBN 500 or NBN 1000 plan, paying the appropriate amount for each. After the new NTD is installed, Superloop indicates that you will be connected to the new ultra-fast NBN plan within 4 hours.

Maximizing Your Experience: Modem and Router

To make the most of your new fast internet service, you will likely need a new modem-router capable of handling these high speeds. Fortunately, Superloop will optionally provide a free Amazon eero 7 device, provided you remain a subscriber for 36 months. You also have the option to add extender units to create a larger Wi-Fi network system in your home. An additional extender costs AUD 199 outright, or for larger homes, you can get two devices for AUD 359, with both options payable in installments starting from AUD 10 per month for 24 months.

Superloop Hyperspeed Plan Review and Summary

Overall, the Superloop Hyperspeed plan is highly attractive due to its combination of high evening speeds and extremely competitive prices. If the idea of multi-Gigabit speeds sounds ideal for you, it is undoubtedly the best offer available in our opinion. However, if your home's download needs are more modest, it's still recommended to check out the best NBN 500 plans for an unbeatable combination of speed and value. The Exetel One plan, powered by Superloop, is our top choice there, costing only AUD 80 per month on an ongoing basis.
