Superloop offers Superfast speeds for just under $100 a month and close to the maximum speed available on an NBN 250 plan. It often runs 6-month signup discounts which makes it stack up extremely well on price vs typical download speed. It also offers the option to boost your internet speed 5 times a month at no extra cost.
It's no surprise Superloop got highly commended in this category. Its pricing is top-tier but it misses out on the gong by falling just short on typical evening speeds.
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 March 2024, Superloop ranked 9th out of 12 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 98.6% of the time.
After a stint in the middle of the pack for performance between the August 2022 - April 2023 reports, Superloop has slipped towards the bottom since then. December 2023 was the first time it finished last in the report.
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.

For cheaper plans:
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.
