NBN 2000 plans: Everything you need to know about "Hyperfast" internet

Q: Is NBN 2000 fast enough for gaming?

No surprises, the answer is yes, with an NBN 2000 plan, online games should run seamlessly, even when other members of your household are online. Downloads are exceptionally fast. For example, a large game download (130GB) should take around 10 minutes or under, while a single large game update (20GB) could be done in just a couple of minutes.

The top speeds on NBN plans have gotten faster with the NBN 2000 speed tier. NBN 2000 plans — also known as "Hyperfast" — double the maximum internet speed some households can achieve.

Here's what you need to know about NBN 2000.

How fast is an NBN 2000 plan?

As the name suggests, NBN 2000 plans come with a maximum download speed of 2,000Mbps. The NBN providers in WhistleOut's database report typical evening download speeds between 1,700 and around 1,800Mbps. That means that during the busiest period of the day (between 7pm and 11pm) you shouldn't see much variation in your download speed, although you might reach closer to the max speeds when it's quieter.

NBN 2000 plans have maximum upload speeds of 100Mbps if you have a Hybrid Fibre Coaxial connection or 200Mbps if you're on Fibre to the Premises. NBN Co also sells a business-grade NBN 2000 plan with upload speeds of 500Mbps.

How much faster is NBN 2000, really? Here's a breakdown of how many users can fit comfortably on each NBN speed tier and the speeds you can expect from each one:

These times assume you're able to download files at your connection's maximum speed, but there are numerous factors that could affect this, many of which are outside your control.

Here's a look at the NBN 2000 plans in our database:

And here is NBN 2000 pricing from plans and providers not currently in our database:

Provider	Plans
Leaptel	$155 per month for first six months, then $165 ongoing
Launtel	$6 per day ($180 per month in a 30-day month)

Based on the rollout of NBN 1000 plans, it may be a while before NBN 2000 plans are offered across the board. It took months for some providers to launch NBN 1000 after the speed tier was first made available at a wholesale level.

At the time of writing, Tangerine, More, AGL, and Southern Phone have withdrawn NBN 2000 plans from the market. Tangerine said that the withdrawal of NBN 2000 plans is temporary.

Are NBN 2000 plans worth it?

An NBN 2000 plan could be useful for anyone wanting to push their connection to the maximum. For example, a new release game might take over an hour to download on an NBN 100 plan, or you can have it in about seven minutes on an NBN 2000 plan, assuming optimal conditions.

Naturally, an NBN 2000 connection won't make much difference for day-to-day usage like web browsing, TV streaming or even online gaming. And in some cases, the devices in your home may not even be able to take advantage of the speeds on offer. As aforementioned, even the wired connections on many devices max out at 1Gbps.

Unless you have a specialised use case or just want bragging rights, NBN 2000 is probably overkill. For most, we'd recommend an NBN 500 plan instead. While the speeds are only a quarter of that offered by NBN 2000, that's still very, very fast. And pricing starts at around $65 per month instead of $149 per month.

This is a guide only. The right plan for your home or business can vary on your modem and home set-up.

What equipment do you need for an NBN 2000 plan?

To take advantage of NBN 2000 plans, customers will ideally need a WiFi 7 router with a 2Gbps WAN port or faster. For the fastest wireless possible speeds, a tri-band WiFi 7 router, such as an eero Pro 7 is ideal. Read more about routers for high-speed internet connections here.

It's worth noting that not all your connected devices will be able to achieve 2Gbps speeds themselves. WiFi 6 and WiFi 7 devices, such as smartphones and laptops, may be able to do so in some situations, but not all of the time. Even wired devices - such as video game consoles - will be limited by the speed of their ethernet port. Both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X only have a 1Gbps ethernet port, for example.

NBN 2000 customers may also need a new NTD. The latest HFC NTD - the Arris CM3500 - supports 2Gbps speeds, but customers on the older Arris CM8200 will need an upgrade. FTTP customers will also need a new NTD, such as the one pictured below.

If you order an NBN 2000 plan, your chosen NBN provider should book an appointment on your behalf, where a technician will swap out your NTD for a newer model. This is done free of charge, unless you want a specific model (such as the four-port FTTP NTD), in which case there may be a charge of up to $300.

How to upgrade to an NBN 750 plan

If you can't get an NBN 2000 plan right now, that might not be the case forever.

Since the end of 2025, over five million Fibre to the Node (FTTN) and Fibre to the Curb (FTTC) addresses are eligible to upgrade to FTTP for free. Rather than upgrading all customers automatically, NBN Co delivers the upgrade on request once the technology is live in a given area.

NBN TECH TYPE CHECKER

Find your NBN Technology Type

Some fixed-line NBN plan availability depends on your technology type. Check your address to find out yours.

Your address will be used to check against the nbn’s technology type database. It will not be stored by us.

If you're already eligible for an upgrade, all you need to do to trigger the upgrade is order an NBN 500 plan or faster.

Upgrading to FTTP will allow FTTN and FTTC customers to get an NBN 2000 plan. Read more about the process of requesting a free FTTP upgrade here.

Looking further forward, a further 622,000 FTTN premises will become eligible for a free upgrade by 2030. Most of these will be able to upgrade to FTTP, but 5% of these remaining premises may be upgraded to a different technology type.
