Superloop NBN review: Our verdict

Superloop 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:

  • You'd like to enjoy a promotional offer to save up to $15 per month for the first 6 months after signing up.
  • You'd like an NBN 100 plan with a higher upload speed of 40Mbps. Some providers only offer up to 20Mbps on their NBN 100 plans.

But also consider:

  • None of Superloop's plans offer maximum speeds. While its plans are cheap, you could find a higher speed elsewhere if this is important to you.
  • Superloop's NBN 1000 plan is limited to 3TB of data where other providers offer unlimited data.

"The Superloop package was nicely detailed and had multiple plans. I went for the NBN Lightspeed. The transfer over from Bigpond was seemless. The speeds are great and I also love the month to month contract."

Value for money

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.

Things to watch out for:

  • Superloop's NBN 1000 plan comes with data capped at 3TB. Once this is exhausted, you won't be charged any fees for exceeding the limit, but your NBN speed will drop to 100Mbps.

Performance

In December 2024, Superloop ranked 7th 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 101.3% of the time.

  • Why this matters: The ACCC report is a measure of reliability and allows customers to see which NBN providers are delivering the speeds they've advertised.

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.
