Roughly a year since they were confirmed, NBN 2000 plans have now officially landed in Australia.
The new NBN 2000 plans – appropriately dubbed ‘Hyperfast’ – are now available to offer homes and businesses connected via fibre to the premises (FTTP) or hybrid fibre coaxial (HFC) the chance to double the maximum download speeds currently available.
On paper at least, they're going to be strong contenders for the top spot in our guide to the fastest NBN plans.
Besides speed, the other key piece of information we weren't sure about was price. We were able to make logical guesses based on pricing for the best NBN 1000 plans. Ultimately, however, until they launched, price remained an enigma.
There's no easy way to say it – NBN 2000 plans are far from cheap, with the cheapest we've found so far being AU$145p/m for the first 6 months from Superloop.
We've only noticed 5 providers offering this new speed tier at the time of writing, and we'll of course continue to keep this page updated as and when new providers come on board.
For now, these are our top NBN 2000 plan recommendations.
NBN 2000 FAQ
When will NBN 2000 plans be available?
Why you can trust TechRadar We spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you're buying the best. Find out more about how we test.
NBN 2000 plans were made available from September 14, 2025. Not all providers offered them on this day, with only 5 providers opting in as of September 15.
We will of course be keeping our eyes peeled for when the new plans become available and will update this page as soon as we know more.
How fast are NBN 2000 plans?
As the name implies, NBN 2000 plans will offer theoretical maximum download speeds of 2,000Mbps (or 2Gbps) – double that of the current theoretical maximum of the best NBN 1000 plans.
Upload speeds will also get a major speed increase to a maximum of 200Mbps (compared to the 50Mbps maximum on NBN 1000 plans) although this will only be available to customers connected via FTTP. Customers connected via HFC will only be able to achieve a maximum upload speed figure of 100Mbps, or half that of full fibre.
As with all of the best NBN plans, the 2,000Mbps figure is just the theoretical maximum available, which is often different to the typical evening speed figure achievable in the real world. For example, the maximum typical evening speed figure we’ve seen for NBN 1000 plans is 900Mbps from Flip and Swoop.
This means customers are unlikely to achieve 2,000Mbps download speeds, although by how much is currently anyone’s guess.
How much do NBN 2000 plans cost?
We initially expected NBN 2000 plans to cost anywhere from AU$150p/m to AU$200p/m and, now they've launched, our estimates were accurate.
The cheapest NBN 2000 plan we've spotted so far is AU$149p/m, whilst the most expensive is AU$189p/m. The average sits at AU$167p/m as of September 15, 2025.
What equipment do I need for an NBN 2000 plan?
Whether you already connect to the fixed-line NBN network via FTTP or you're on one of the inferior FTTN/C connection types, you'll need new equipment if you want to sign up for a new NBN 2000 plan.
NBN Co has confirmed that a new connection box has been developed, and interpreting its wording, will become the new default connection box for anyone upgrading to FTTP, regardless of the plan speed they opt for.
Not only will the new connection box support the multi-gigabit NBN 2000 plans, but it also now features just a single port, as opposed to the four-port design of the current connection box. In the majority of cases, homes connected via FTTP will likely only use just one port, which is the reason for this design change.
New four-port connection boxes will also be available for homes that need them, but details regarding the logistics of how you go about obtaining one are thin on the ground right now.
You will also, potentially, need to upgrade your router to a newer model that's capable of supporting the faster speeds. Our in-depth guide (linked) will tell you everything you need to know, but the short of it is, you'll need at least a Wi-Fi 6E modem but ideally a Wi-Fi 7 is you intend to sign up for an NBN 2000 plan.
Should I get an NBN 2000 plan?
That all depends on the needs of your household and, as mentioned, NBN 2000 plans will only be available to customers who connect to the NBN via FTTP or HFC infrastructure. In 2025 that's less of a barrier than it was in previous years. If your premises don’t currently use either of these technology types, and you instead connect via fibre to the node (FTTN) or fibre to the curb (FTTC), you'll likely be eligible to take advantage of NBN Co’s free NBN fibre upgrade program.
But wait, there’s some other good news to coincide with the launch of the new multi-gigabit plans. The current crop of higher speed NBN plans (so NBN 100 and faster) are set to receive a speed boost and should, in theory, remain free of any price increases since NBN Co’s wholesale costs aren’t expected to rise too much at the turn of the new financial year.
We've already seen a few NBN 500 plans in the wild and they're actually greater value than the 100Mbps plans they replace. In truth, we expect the NBN 500 plan tier to become the most popular in Australia.
If you want to go faster still, then NBN 1000 plans will get a guaranteed minimum speed increase to 750Mbps (up from the current 500Mbps), while NBN 100 plans will see the maximum download speed increase to 500Mbps, and customers on an NBN 250 plan will get a speed bump to 750Mbps maximum, transforming into NBN 750 plans.
So, by the time they're rolled out, the answer to the question “do I need an NBN 2000 plan?”, might actually be no. The 5x speed increase on an NBN 100 plan could be all your household needs to ensure all your connected devices run smoothly. Do note, however, that you will still need a FTTP or HFC connection to receive these increases. To check what connection you have, you can head to NBN Co’s website.
What NBN plan is best to get now?
If you’re keen to change your NBN plan today, the good news is that gigabit NBN plans have never been cheaper, with plans now starting at just AU$85 p/m. Alternatively, if you feel that 1,000Mbps speeds will be overkill for your home, there are a number of great-value 100Mbps plans also available (that will be inline for the speed boost) along with some stunning 500Mbps options.
