Superloop is offering plenty of chances to save on a new NBN plan, and a
nifty way to keep those savings going for longer.

Firstly, the telco has announced that it will be increasing prices on the majority of its NBN plan lineup from July 1, as a direct response to the wholesale price hikes being introduced by NBN Co. We already knew the wholesale price increases were coming, so its not a huge surprise to learn Superloop is passing the cost onto consumers. We fully expect most other NBN providers to follow suit. The slight saving grace is that Superloop isnt increasing the cost of its NBN 100, NBN 500 or NBN 750 plans, at least not
for the upcoming financial year. What it chooses to do for FY27 is anyones guess right now. Latest Videos From Watch full video here:

That means price hikes are only being applied to NBN 25, NBN 50, NBN 250, NBN 1000 and NBN 2000 plans. Prices will go up from as low as AU$3 per month and up to AU$6 per month. The biggest increase will apply to the NBN 25 plan, which will set you back AU$78p/m after any introductory costs. For context, the NBN 50 plan (with double the speed) will retail for AU$89p/m, while the faster NBN 100 and NBN 500 plans will cost AU$95 (no change).

Its clear, then, that upgrading to a faster plan will make more economical sense than ever, with a AU$17 gap between a 25Mbps plan and one that offers
up to 500Mbps download speeds (if you have the right connection type to support them).

AU$3 How to avoid the price increases While the planned price hikes dont come as too much of a surprise, theyre undoubtedly going to be hard to stomach for many customers both those already signed with Superloop, and any potential customers who were thinking of switching to the well-rated telco.

Fortunately, Superloop is offering a way to avoid them, at least for the next 24 months, with a feature called PriceLock.

PriceLock does exactly what it suggests; it lets you lock in a monthly fee
for two years, for a one-off fee of AU$25. If you were to sign up with Superloop today and activate PriceLock, you would effectively avoid the July increases.

However, the amount you actually stand to save with PriceLock firstly depends on which NBN plan you have. Considering the NBN 100, NBN 500 and NBN 750
plans arent receiving a price increase from July 1 means theres no real point in activating PriceLock. What to read next Ubiquiti adds a RAM tax to

Having said that, Superloop could increase the cost in 2027, in which case locking in the current price would be worth it. For a one-off fee of AU$25,
it would still be worth activating the feature in our opinion. At the very least, it would provide peace of mind knowing how much your monthly NBN bill will be for the next two years.

View the latest internet deals A prime time to sign Removing PriceLock from the equation, now is still a great time to consider switching to Superloop. The telco is offering a few EOFY deals on its NBN plans, and giving you the chance to buy an Eero 7 modem and receive a second absolutely free ideal for building a mesh Wi-Fi system for greater network coverage at home.

Whats more, all Superloop NBN plans have a six-month introductory price,
which would also help you avoid the planned price hikes for a short time.
When the introductory offer ends, you will pay the new price, assuming you choose one of the plans that will go up.

Ive picked my two favourite Superloop plans below, but make sure to check out the full lineup in the price comparison tool. Superloop Lightspeed | 860Mbps TES | AU$79p/m (first 6 months, then AU$109p/m)

Kicking off with a low AU$79p/m introductory price, Superloops gigabit NBN plan is an easy recommendation. The ongoing cost of this plan will increase
to AU$114p/m from July 1, but if you sign up today and activate PriceLock, youll keep the AU$109 monthly price for 24 months.

AU$79 minimum cost AU$1,128 first year cost AU$1,308 ongoing yearly cost

Theres much to love about Superloops NBN 500 plan too. Not only does it promise maximum speeds during the busier evening hours, but its also eligible for the telcos Speed Boost feature, allowing you to increase your speed to
NBN 750 for 24 hours for free, five times a month. The AU$95p/m ongoing cost will remain for the next financial year.
