Not sure if this has been posted before but you can opt in for a free upgrade if you have been on 100/20,100/40, and 250/25 for at least 3 months.

You'll need to call them and tell them that you saw the current promotion and want a free upgrade wait for an email. CS told me that everyone who is eligible will get one and they are doing it in batches. This can take some time. Guess if youre lucky you'll be first. Depending on your NBN, you may only choose the lowest upgrade.

How the Upgrade Offer Works

  2. If you change your Superloop NBN Plan during the Upgrade period, then the upgrade offer will cease and your service will go back to the Original Plan specifications, as set out in our Critical Information Summary (CIS).
  3. During this 6-month speed upgrade period, no other terms of your service or applicable discounts will change. All other charges such as upgrades, additional data packs, other internet services, installation and other charges for non-standard installation will continue to apply. —> Still on my $10 less a month :)
  4. This upgrade is only available for selected FTTP & HFC premises.

      CS rep also confirmed this affects nothing. You get a free upgrade without losing a nail.

        Last time Kogan provided a free 6 month upgrade. They sneakily increased all their prices, so you could go back to your original slower plan after the promotion period. But you’ll be paying +$10 per month.

        I hope Superloop is a genuine free upgrade

    • DogGunn on 02/03/2021 - 14:20

      They're not really rewarding customers - it's literally cheaper for them to do this due to NBN rebates.

      However it is producing worse results for paying customers due to hitting CVC limits.

      Unless you're already on top tier. When ABB had thisbpromo I thought it was stupid that I was paying more for the same service as someone else.

      Same goes for Superloop, but at least this time I'm on their new customer special. Sucks for people who have been on Superloop's top tier for a while.

      If you spend the most, they're happy to see you go

          I have a old PC(i7 3770/16G DDR3) and slapped on a 2 port/1Gbps Intel network card which cost me like $30 shipped from China.

          Installed EXSi host and passthrough the network card for iKuai OS (x86 router OS with decent QoS)

          hooked up a Huawei AX3 Pro as AP which cost less than $100 shipped from China.

          I also have Minecraft server/XPE Synology running on the same EXSi host as well.

          So total cost around $130 (exclude cost of the old PC, but almost anyold PC will be able to run router OS anyway) and I have robust network that will allow me to game smoothly even when other people in the house are downloading/streaming.

          Consider it covers the cost of NAS and MC server for me too the electric bill is cheap enough to get me worried.

      Same here. I know FTTC don't offer gigabit speeds yet but still an upgrade to 100/40 would've been a nice touch. BTW I'm currently on 100/20 plan and may be I'm feeling a bit too greedy :)

          that's just the overprovisioning that NBN and some retailers are doing now. 50/20 plan gets you ~57mbps down, and so on. You can't buy anything above a 100/40 plan on a FTTC connection at the moment.

          • [Deactivated] on 03/03/2021 - 00:06

            @Alzori: Pretty sure the overprovisioning was only temporary and has already ended.

            • Alzori on 03/03/2021 - 10:49
              +1

              @[Deactivated]: You might be getting things confused, NBN provided extra free CVC to RSPs during covid and that might have ended already that's true. That doesn't affect max speeds, but it helps your internet to maintain high speeds during peak periods (i.e. evenings).

              A separate change NBN made was changing how fast the actual sync speeds are for different plan tiers. This change is permanent. Not all RSPs have implemented it yet though. For e.g. the 50/20 plan they only used to provision 50mbps download. Due to various overheads, when you did a speedtest the best you could get was about 48. Now they increased those max sync speeds, so on the 50/20 plan you can sync at over 50mbps and you can legitimately do a speed test and get results over 50mbps, my parents get about 54mbps when they test.

      • Twix on 02/03/2021 - 14:48

        You can get a little faster on the download. 250Mbps or faster is not a FTTC option at this time.

        This morning. I'm guessing users on the lower end plans are already getting a good enough deal. $69/mo for 50/20 is already quite good, but it's a bit of a bummer I have to pay $89/mo for 100/20 plan.

        Guess it's time to switch back to ABB to take advantage of new customer discounts.

          Currently paying $74.95 for 50/20 and looks like they'll now charger $69 for that plan.

        I cancelled last week, cancellation was easy, called up told them I want to cancel and they transferred me to their cancellations team.

        They asked if I’d be okay telling them why, no problem told them the reason.

        The guy says I’m paid up a month in advance so he’ll process a refund for the monthly fee.

        Monthly anniversary date was around 4/5 days before I called and he said he’ll set the cancellation date for that day - so I still had Superloop internet until the cancellation date.

        Best to call up and ask, ymmv. I probably got refunded because I paid early.

    • toastfacegrillah on 02/03/2021 - 14:11

      Can't say i've experienced more dropouts than ABB who had their fair share, but the speed is noticeably slower than ABB (equiv plans), especially since the beginning of last month.

    • emoticon on 02/03/2021 - 15:21

      Yeah I had to switch back to ABB because speeds would get so slow and was very inconsistent.

      Some of the time speeds were good but then it would randomly get worse.

      Peak time speeds were especially bad. But it wasn’t just happening during peak time.

      I was on FTTP 250/25 and a lot of the time speeds would be under 80mbps, usually around 15 to 40.

      Speeds seem a bit slower on sl.

      Also, there seems to be more dropouts.
      Not sure if coincidence.

      In the last week, have been about 4-5.
      Not very long ones, bit no internet for about 10-20 minutes.

      As we have 2 people working from home, it is obvious when the internet drops out.

    I got the same from TPG. 6 months free upgrade to 200mb download speeds. I didn't have to do anything, it was automatically applied. It's almost worth it to call your provider and ask if they can upgrade for 6 months "because everyone else is".

      You can choose. But if 100/40 is the highest possible upgrade due to your infrastructure, then thats the lowest upgrade you can get compared to 250/25

        Cheers! :)

    Signed up with them last week for the discounted $99 250/25 plan.

    Received my first invoice for $119 even though the members section shows me on the $99 plan.

    Sent support an email asking for this to be rectified and am still waiting for a response.

    Hey Superlooper,

    Thanks for being such an awesome customer, we really appreciate having you with us. So, to pay that love forward, we're offering you a FREE 6 month speed upgrade.

    That's right. Free. Upgrade.

    Like all good adventures, you have a few different options to make this upgrade happen.

    As a current Superloop nbn™ 100/40 Unlimited customer, if your connection type is eligible, you may choose to:

    Upgrade to nbn™ Home Superfast 250/25 speed, unlimited data

    This option offers much better download speeds and no data cap, but has slower upload speeds compared to your existing plan.

    With your existing 100Mbps download speeds, you could download, say, a new release video game in around an hour and a quarter at peak speed. With this new upgrade, you could download that same game in about the time it takes to get pizza delivered.

    However, taking this option could mean you'd see reduced upload speeds which may impact things like uploading files, video streaming, and video calls.

    Upgrade to nbn™ Home Ultrafast 1000/50, 3TB data

    This is Australia's fastest NBN speed currently available. It offers much better upload and download speeds compared to your existing plan, but it also applies a 3Tb data cap, after which, your speed returns to 100Mbps.

    In this instance, you could download that new release video game in less time than it takes to rock out to the Guns N' Roses classic, “November Rain”.

    Stay where you're at. Which is ok too.

    Love it! How do I upgrade?

    First, decide which upgrade you'd like to pick.

    Then, click on the link below and select the speed upgrade you would like to take up. If only one option appears, this means your connection type is unable to support a higher speed tier.

    Choose wisely, as once you've clicked the ‘Upgrade' button, you won't be able to swap to the other option available in this promotion later.

    Upgrade Me

    What's next?

    Of course, as with all good things in life, these things don't last forever. We hope you'll love the upgraded speeds for the next SIX months, after which time, you'll go back to your original plan.

    Check your Members Area for more about your free speed upgrades.

    Stay cool, Superlooper!

    Cheers,

    Superloop Home Broadband Team

      Thanks for sharing the email. Is the "link below" a generic link that could be shared as well?
      I'm on 100/40 currently paying $73.95/month (double discount) and wouldn't mind trying the 1000/50, but haven't received any email.

      • mckayver on 02/03/2021 - 18:03

        you will get the option for 250/25 speed upgrade not 1000/50.

          @madbison is on FTTP NBN 100/40 (same plan) and was able to choose between 250/25 or 1000/50

      • Rodgort on 03/03/2021 - 21:16

        Link is has unique numbers ids so it's unlikely sharing it will work.

      for 1000/50 is the 3tb limit per month?

      • Twix on 02/03/2021 - 22:26
        +1

        1000/50 is 3TB/month. If you manage to use 3TB/month your speeds drop to 100/50 for the remainder of the month.

          still a win. But no email yet :/

    I get 50% off my plan for education discount.
    Does anyone know when this will end?

    • Joshminey on 02/03/2021 - 17:39

      You don't get included

      • Oz em on 02/03/2021 - 19:32

        That’s ok I don’t want a speed upgrade. I just wondered when my discount will end as it’s been really helpful.
