Hi All, Today i read the recent NBN email with the below information

At a glance: the wholesale speed changes

nbn Home Fast
Speed increase: From 100/20 Mbps to 500/50 Mbps
What it means: 5 x faster downloads, 2.5 x faster uploads

nbn Home Superfast
Speed increase: From 250/25 Mbps to 750/50 Mbps
What it means: 3 x faster downloads, 2 x faster uploads

nbn Home Ultrafast
Speed increase: Upload speed from 50 Mbps to 100 Mbps
What it means: 2 x faster uploads

nbn Home Hyperfast
New speed plan: Offering 2,000/200 Mbps (on Fibre to the Premises) and 2,000/100 Mbps (on Hybrid Fibre Coaxial)
What it means: Blazing-fast speeds for top-tier connections

As someone struggling with money - but prioritises internet speeds. I don't see the value now in having 1000/50 which I have currently, especially considering I get upgraded to 1000/100.

Can I downgrade to 100/20 on a cheap deal and get the free FTTP 500/50 upgrade in the next few weeks?

I'm currently on a Superloop 1000/50 download speed plan $85/month for 6 months.

Unless of course the "free" upgrade is not really free for new customers starting from today?

I noticed some 100/20 plans now being at $75/month, maybe knowing that they will soon be 500/50.

    Why not go with southern phone ⁉️ Get your 100 / 20 for $65.00 a month (twelve months) . As of this moment of time , I'm still waiting on the upgrade myself 👍
    I'm not sure if southern are still doing this promotion but my three months have been good with them .

    Ask your RSP.

    I can’t wait to get the new ntd with a 2gbps plan and then downgrade to slow

      a tad confused…..

      Could there be a minimum commitment period?

    I am on More Telecom 1000/50 plan, paying $81, can we downgrade to a lower plan to get 750 or so, keeping the current discount? 1000/50 plan will only change to 1000/100 so no point in having that when other plans get a huge speed boost.

      thats my exact thought, as far as im aware, the 100/20 will infact be 500/50 and so on, according to superloop anyway. so the answer is yes, the issue is changing providers will be the only answer to get it cheaper.

    I downgraded from 250/20 to 100/20 with a different ISP and then got an early free upgrade to 500/50

      Great work! Username definitely doesn't check out…

  • Bob Loblaw on 09/09/2025 - 04:10

    How many months left with your 6 month discount period? Unless things have changed on their billing system, last i saw Superloop don't carry the discount period over.

    Why pay in the first place when you struggle with money.
    Do what the banks do, splurge and then sulk till it is free.

    • PerthMan96 on 09/09/2025 - 11:05

      Are you stupid? As far as im aware, internet is only free for some families
