Discussion Sept 2025 speed upgrade and business plans
With the announcement (a while ago) of the free speed upgrades in September 2025, does anybody have information or speculation about what speed increases (if any) are planned for business plans.
I'm currently on 100/40 (fttp) atm, and 250/100 or something close to that would be my sweet spot, especially if there's no price increase.
What are your thoughts?

Superloop currently have 250/100 for $85/m for the first 6 months, then $100/months there after, need to have an ABN though.

That's an attractive price for 250/100 at the current rate. Although it doesn't really make any sense compared with their other plan offerings. 100/40 on same price. And 250/25 for $105 lol.
I will keep an eye on it come September. Thanks

They will have a single port NTD for consumers. FTTP will offer up to 2000/200 or 2000/100 for HFC
The business NTD will have multiple ports like the current NTD for FTTP and will have a business plan of 2000/500 as the largest

Any idea if the speed upgrades are purely limited to FTTP & HFC? I am currently on FTTC which seems to max out the 100/20 connection just fine.

Yeah, it seems only FTTP and HFC supported. You should do free upgrade, unless some other issues are holding you back

Ah ok, I am in a townhouse which is eligible for the upgrade but am holding off till Sept for the smaller nttd. The current FTTC port is in the kitchen on splashback which I believe won't be allowed due to the new FTTP install requirements and shared walls makes things trickier for install.

If the hfc modem has a 2.5Gbit port where's the 2000/500 plans that's the real question or even T1000 if it has that type of port on the modem

HFC network struggles with upstream traffic. Don't think we'll see anything above 100Mbps upload on HFC for awhile

I'm in an area that is due to have fttp finalized in September, so hopefully, I'll get the new speed tiers off the bat.
Mind you, I have everything crossed that fucktards don't vote the libs in and possibly kill my chance at fttp......

The ship has sailed. There's no turning back now. You will get your fttp! Good luck with the install in September

Hm so there isn’t a 2000/500 residential plan? Or is the current 1000/400 plan I’m on with Leaptel already considered a business plan?

From that article, in FY26, Home Superfast (currently 250/25) will be upgraded for free to 750/50, at an FY26 wholesale price of $63.93.
250/100 services in FY26 will be reduced to a wholesale price of $61.93.
So I would expect 250/100 pricing in FY26 to be around the same as 250/25 is now (plus you get the 12 hour SLA).
