Australian internet service provider Superloop has taken out the top award for Best Mobile Phone and Broadband Innovation for its My Speed Boost product. The service is available to current and new customers and is a relatively simple concept that lets households boost their internet speed for up to 24 hours up to 5 times a month for free. Superloop is the only telco in Australia offering a free same-day speed upgrade to their home NBN internet speed.
Full list of 2023 winnersSuperloop offers a range of competitively priced NBN plans from NBN 25 up to NBN 1000.
None of the plans offer maximum typical evening speeds. While the typical evening speed on the NBN 1000 plan isn't terrible at 500Mbps, it's limited to just 3TB per month, unlike other providers that offer unlimited data.
That being said, the speeds are still decent for the low prices you get with Superloop.
Superloop could be an option for you if:
But also consider:
Superloop's plans are competitively priced, being lower than the average cost on Finder. However, none of its plans offer the maximum speed available on their respective tiers.
You could find plans just as cheap with other providers who offer higher speeds.
Superloop's modem and router options are more expensive than your typical NBN provider, with an eero router that comes with an app to monitor online activity.
In December 2022, Superloop ranked 6th out of 11 providers in the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) broadband performance report for download speeds during busy hours of the day (7pm–11pm). It delivered maximum speeds 97.9% of the time.
This is one of Superloop's best results in the report in 2 years. In the past, it has sat towards the lower end of the ranking.
There's a few ways you can reach out to Superloop for support:
Superloop only has a couple additional features on its plans:
If you successfully refer a friend, you can receive 10% off your internet bill for 6 months (up to the value of $10).
The referral discount can stack up with more friends who sign up using your referral code.
All you need to do is push a button for faster speeds, at no extra cost. The Speed Boost last 24 hours and you can access it 5 times a month. Unused days rollover into your Boost Bank for a maximum of 30 days. Additional days can be purchased for $2 a day.
Tangerine is a strong contender against Superloop as it has some of the cheapest NBN plans on Finder. It has several customer support options where you can contact them via call, online live chat or WhatsApp.
SpinTel is a budget-friendly broadband provider with plans that are cheaper than Superloop's. You can also enjoy discounts on your plans for the first 6 months.
For reliable speeds:
Also owned by Superloop, Exetel offers NBN plans that offer more bang for the buck. It has also topped multiple ACCC broadband performance reports for its reliability.
