nbn FTTP and HFC speeds are getting faster from 14 September 2025.

The old speeds will automatically change to the new nbn FTTP and HFC 500/50, 750/50 and 1000/100 speeds. Many ISPs have confirmed there is no extra cost.

nbn HFC 2000/100, FTTP 2000/200 and FTTP 2000/500 will be available to order on the same day from selected ISPs. Contact an ISP to change speed and make an appointment for the installation of a new 2.5GbE nbn NTD.

Speed notes.

  1. You may have to change ISP to get the speed you want.
  2. Download speed overhead allowance means a speedtest shows a faster download speed. For example, you can get 2113Mbps on the 2000Mbps plan.
  3. The maximum download speed on the 1000Mbps plan is 970Mbps even with the new 2.5GbE nbn NTD.
  4. Some ISPs are moving nbn FTTP and HFC customers from 100/40 to 500/50, 100/40 to 250/100 or keeping you on 100/40 until you contact your ISP and change to a faster speed plan.
  5. You may need a new router and new CAT6 RJ45 Ethernet cables to reach maximum speeds.
  6. nbn FTTP and HFC 12/1, 25/5, 25/10 and 50/20 speed plans don't get an automatic speed boost. Contact your ISP to change to a faster speed plan.
  7. nbn FTTN, FTTB and FTTC 12/1, 25/5, 25/10, 50/20, 100/20 and 100/40 speed plans are still available.

        • alcadive on 10/09/2025 - 17:52

          It seems like a reasonable price to me for what will soon be a 500/50 plan. If you can find a better deal elsewhere then go for it.

    Worth noting that pricing for 250/100, 500/200 and 1000/400 is dropping as well.

    ABB and Leaptel have already dropped their pricing for these:

    ABB
    250/100 - $109/month
    500/200 - $130/month
    1000/400 - $150/month

    Leaptel
    250/100 - $105/month (promo $95/month for 12 months)
    500/200 - $125/month (promo $115/month for 12 months)
    1000/400 - $145/month (promo $135/month for 12 months)

    the upgrade for existing 1000mbit plans is by far the shittiest. they should've at least given you 6 months 2000mbit…well i'll downgrade to 500mbit and save some money.

  • Sprayznprayz on 10/09/2025 - 08:11

    Anyone know if this upgrade helps you get closer to speeds you pay for? Buddy telco 1000/50 - my download is usually only around 850. I wonder if downgrading to 750 would be cheaper if it doesn’t get much higher.

      No it won't. The maximum download speed on the 1000Mbps plan is 970Mbps. Some routers and devices can't go any faster than what you get and have to be upgraded.

      2. Wired Ethernet or Wi-Fi?

      Many of the popular ISPs have confirmed there is no extra cost. There is over 100 ISPs so I can't confirm that some random ISP won't change their price.

      There is always one comment.

    For anyone in the same boat as me with More NBN, on the 100/40 plan, you need to downgrade to the 100/20 plan, otherwise come next week when the speeds are upgraded you will still continue to pay the additional monthly fee over the 100/20 plan, despite now having the same speeds (500/50). Just spoke with More who downgraded my plan in anticipation for the speed boost next week.

        because i predict post september all providers will start charging normal pricing and because of speed increase it makes them look like they have increased the service but their bottom line has not changed so they can make more money.

      3. Are you using wired Ethernet or Wi-Fi?
    • wetsandwich on 11/09/2025 - 17:29

      For higher speeds there are a lot more factors at play as the other person mentioned. It is much harder to get close to 1000 than it is to cap out a 100mbit connection. You'd need a gigabit ethernet card (that much you probably do have, but are you using it rather than wifi?), a cat5e or cat6 cable instead of wifi, a good router (not a free ISP $10 junk one). If you're on wifi you're basically never going to get anywhere close to 1000, and even if your computer is a bit old then all of the above might not get you to the right speeds.

I'm currently on an offer of $75/mth for first 6 months and I signed up 2 months ago. Do you know if this will continue or go up to $80/mth?

          The new Exetel 500/50 One plan is CG-NAT.

          No CG-NAT if you stay on your current Exetel plan and it continues at $75/m for 4 months. Change ISP whenever you want. Exetel ask for 30-days cancellation notice.

            +1

            @Twix: Exetel One plan allows ending the service on the last date of the current billing cycle, rather than 30 days cancellation notice for legacy plans.
            Also, if churning to essentially the same company (i.e. Superloop), there is a good chance of getting that 30 days cancellation notice waived. Superloop and Exetel use the same billing team.

        • netsurfer on 11/09/2025 - 12:56

          Exetel legacy plans are no longer available to new customers. It's unclear what Exetel will do to those plans in terms of prices (they can raise them). It looks like Superloop has decided to make Exetel essentially offering only one plan with forced CG-NAT.

          Most people considered Exetel One plan due to the $100 topcashback deal.

    I'm currently on the 100/40 power plan with Exetel. I also have CGNat opt-out on my plan, and a static IP. I was tempted by the OnePlan advertised in July with 500/50 speeds for $80, but I was disappointed to learn they don't allow CGNat opt-out or static IP on that plan, so I didn't go for it.

    Last month I saw that the 500/50 speed update was coming to my plan. I knew that is an NBN wholesale upgrade, but I assumed I'd be automatically changed to the OnePlan as part of that. I'd found a new ISP I wanted to go with, so I called Exetel account hotline to put in my 30 days notice.
    The person I spoke to on the phone last month said I had it a bit wrong. They said customers on existing plans (eg, 100/20 and 100/40) will be upgraded to 500/50 for free 14th July, I don't need to move to OnePlan, and I can stay on my current plan with my current static IP. I said I'd still like to cancel, because I'm paying $99/month and I'd like to move to a different ISP that is $89/month for the same speed tier.
    The rep then offered to give me $10/month discount for 6 months, so I could stay with Exetel. So I said okay, that's generous, thanks, I'll stay on my current plan.

    Today I had the realization that if 100/20 ($95/mo) and 100/40 ($99/mo) are both being upgraded to 500/50, will I continue to pay more for the same speeds? In other words, should I change to the 100/20 plan before the upgrade on the 14th? But would that affect my arranged $10/month discount? I called Exetel account hotline today to find out.

    The person I spoke to said the opposite of what I was told last month. They said all Exetel NBN customers who are being upgraded to 500/50 on the 14th Sept will be moved to the $80 OnePlan as part of that upgrade, and they also said after 14th Sept, everyone will be on the OnePlan, all other plans are migrated to that plan, that is why its called "OnePlan".

    I said that can't possibly be correct. Especially after what I was told last month, and what I've read online. What about grandfathered plans, etc.
    The rep got very frustrated with me, asked me why I would want to pay more for the same speed, on my existing plan. I explained my need for CGNat opt-out, and static IP. They said that if I need those features, I should put in my 30 days notice and choose a different ISP, because Exetel cannot offer those features after 14th Sept.
    I was floored to hear that, because I'd previously been explicitly told the opposite. What if I didn't call today, and suddenly on the 14th my service is crippled as part of the upgrade? So I asked to be put through to cancellations.
    The same rep said they can do cancellation, and said with the 30 days notice the account would be cancelled 10th October. I told them to look into my call history on the system and see that I requested my account be cancelled last month, and was told I should stay on my current account. So I managed to get an immediate cancellation, and now I'm more than happy to move to a new ISP (probably Neptune).

    I still think the rep is misinformed, or maybe I'm wrong, either way I encourage any other existing Exetel account holders to take a good look at their plan and find out exactly what is going to happen to their service on 14th Sept.

      I believe the first Exetel rep is right. Exetel haven't communicated that everyone will be on the One plan.

      Neptune is good and local tech support.

    Alright, I just need to have a house first to have this deal, too easy.

  • CaptainLeezee on 11/09/2025 - 19:44

    When I got my cheap Optus deal, everyone told me not to because their service is so incompetent.

    I didn't listen because, who ever really needs to contact their ISP?

    That worked fine until now, just got FTTP available at my address and trying to get them to upgrade me from FTTN. Omg paiiiiinnnnnnn. The ability to upgrade is plastered all over their website but they just cannot compute that this is a thing that an ISP can do for me.

    • Twix on 11/09/2025 - 20:03

      Look at Leaptel or Superloop for the nbn FTTP upgrade.

  • vegemite2008 on 11/09/2025 - 22:52

    Will the superloop new plans be live next week?

    • Twix on 12/09/2025 - 11:29

      I guess Sunday or Monday.

  • MrZ on 11/09/2025 - 22:53

    Telstra Bigpond Cable - It's a great service

      That is now nbn HFC.

        Well, it was a great service (IAW R055)

  • brainactive on 12/09/2025 - 06:56

    I'm quite anxious about the box installation given it involves drilling and digging. Where is the best place to install it for a 2 storey home?

    • Twix on 12/09/2025 - 12:12

      Small hole in the wall that is covered by the nbn FTTP NTD. They may not need to dig. Is there an existing underground conduit?

      Is your router downstairs or upstairs?

      • brainactive on 12/09/2025 - 12:45

        Current router is downstairs. The lounge room and garage is at the front of the house. The study is towards the back. Would it be better to install the hole in the lounge?

        Regarding underground conduit, I'm not sure. Is there a way to check without digging?

        Another concern is the size of the box. I heard whispers of a smaller box being available if we wait a little longer.

        • Twix on 12/09/2025 - 21:02

          The lounge or garage can be used. A router with Wi-Fi located in the garage can give you poor Wi-Fi range and speed. You may have to run ethernet from the garage to the router downstairs. Maybe pick the lounge.

          You can request the nbn FTTP 1-port NTD from Sunday. Pictures and wall mount bracket measurements starting from page 37.

          Is there a white conduit pipe near your gas and power outside?

          • brainactive on 12/09/2025 - 21:19

            @Twix: So the lounge is better placement than the study? Normally my computer/ laptop is used in the study so that's probably where the router would be. I mean I could put the router in the lounge as well and just use WiFi but I guess that means Ethernet is no longer an option.

            • Twix on 12/09/2025 - 21:25

              @brainactive: Option 1. nbn NTD in the lounge and run ethernet to your router in the study.

              Option 2. Put both the nbn NTD NTD and router in the study. You may have to get conduit preinstalled if you want to do this. Refer to this document.

              You can decline on the day if you don't agree and reschedule if necessary.

    Ports: one 10GbE RJ45 port (grey) and three 2.5GbE RJ45 ports (orange).

    OP , curious to know if the 10GbE port is sfp+ or ethernet?

      Ethernet RJ45.

    anyone know if Optus will automatically upgrade you or you gotta ask nicely? Im on 100Mbit HFC

    • Twix on 12/09/2025 - 14:05

      100/20 changes to 500/50 automatically @ Optus.

        just checked.
        i'm on some very old plan (from 7yrs ago) called "Internet Bundle" and its currently 100/36 ..
        i wonder if that will get upped or i gotta manually change it to an in-market plan first

        • Twix on 12/09/2025 - 14:20

          Change to 500/50 manually.

          • capslock janitor on 12/09/2025 - 15:03

            @Twix: how

              @capslock janitor: Wait until Optus release 500/50 and request a plan change.

              I doubt your router will have any problems with the 50Mbps or 100Mbps upload speed.

          i might be on similar plan (?) bundled homephone

          just received a optus email tabling our current 100/36Mbps would be upgraded to "business nbn Pro speed 250/80
          also noting modem incompatible w/ upload speed ..

  • georgev on 12/09/2025 - 18:44

    I’m currently on 100/20 with Vodafone and have a free speed boost. Am I eligible for a higher speed ?

    • Twix on 12/09/2025 - 19:55

      You should get 500/50 if you have nbn FTTP or HFC.

      • georgev on 12/09/2025 - 20:15

        I have FTTP

        • Twix on 12/09/2025 - 20:18

          Yeah 500/50 however I haven't seen Vodafone say anything. You can always change ISP.

  • rhino86 on 12/09/2025 - 19:04

    How?

    • Twix on 12/09/2025 - 19:56

      I need more details.

      1. Do you have nbn FTTP or HFC?
      2. What is your nbn speed plan?
  • Donners22 on 12/09/2025 - 19:36

    Damn, my 50/20 plan is so bad it doesn't even make the list.

    • Twix on 12/09/2025 - 20:02

      You may find 500/50 for a similar price. How much are you paying for 50/20?

  • DarkSide on 12/09/2025 - 23:05

    what about for fixed wireless users?

    • Twix on 12/09/2025 - 23:07

      Fixed wireless has 100/20, 250/20 and 400/40. Check here to see what you can get.

      • DarkSide on 13/09/2025 - 02:33

        im with skymesh & i was paying 75.95 now they jacked to 89.95

  • axatag on 13/09/2025 - 10:19

    Just received email from Optus yesterday saying they will switch my nbn home phone bundle 100/40 speed pack to businese nbn pro 250/80 from 15/9. So satisfy as I need home phone and switching to other is costing more as my current plan is 95/m.

    • capslock janitor on 13/09/2025 - 11:58

      wonder if we could get a free modem upgrade

      • axatag on 13/09/2025 - 14:00

        Yeah, me too, but in the email they said my modem is compatible. It's Sagecom f@st 5366.
