FAQs

NBN 750 is a fast NBN plan that was introduced as part of NBN Co's latest speed upgrades.

In most cases, NBN 750 effectively replaces NBN 250, with pricing in line with the older speed tier. As such, NBN 750 plans are available to those with HFC or FTTP NBN connection types.

Sitting in the between cheaper NBN 500 plans and even faster NBN 1000 plans they're the middle-child of fast NBN plans. So, are they worth it?

How fast is an NBN 750 plan?

NBN 750 plans come with a maximum download speed of 750Mbps. Most NBN providers in WhistleOut's database report typical evening download speeds in line with the maximum. That means that during the busiest period of the day (between 7pm and 11pm) you shouldn't see much variation in your download speed. NBN 750 plans have maximum upload speeds of 50Mbps, but it's more common to see typical evening upload speeds between 40 and 42Mbps.

NBN 750 plans vs. NBN 1000

Hybrid-Fibre Coaxial (HFC) and Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) customers have their choice of the creme of the crop.

While an NBN 750 plan is already exceptionally fast, you can get a faster plan with NBN 1000. NBN 1000 plans have maximum download speeds of up to 1000Mbps/1Gbps and have double the maximum upload speed at 100Mbps.

Note, there are also a couple of NBN 2000 plans available in the market — these are very expensive and so fast they might be a touch impractical for most households. You really need the right equipment to take advantage of them.

At this end of the spectrum, the biggest differentiator is price. With six-month discounted pricing NBN 750 plans start around the $70 to $80, and NBN 1000 plans range between $90 and $100.

Here's a look at NBN 750 and NBN 1000 plans sorted by lowest price over 12 months:

Curious about other speed tiers? Here's a breakdown of how many users can fit comfortably on each NBN speed tier and the speeds you can expect from each:

Speed tier	Best for	Max. speeds
NBN 12	Lone, low internet users	12Mbps
NBN 25	Budget pick for 1-2 people	25Mbps

_{Note: Speed tiers above NBN 100 are only available at premises with FTTP and HFC connection types.}

Are NBN 750 plans worth it?

An NBN 750 plan could be useful if you have a larger household or a setup with lots of connected devices.

Even though NBN 750 plans can dramatically speed up almost any download, a 750Mbps NBN connection won't make much difference for day-to-day usage like web browsing, TV streaming or even gaming because they don't have lower latency (ping).

For many, it might make sense to drop down to an NBN 500 plan. While that's 250Mbps slower, NBN 500 is still twice as fast as the NBN 250 plans NBN 750 replaced. NBN 500 also have a $10 per month cheaper starting price than NBN 750 plans.

For most, NBN 500 should be more than fast enough. Here's a look at the cheapest NBN 500 plans in our database:

Hot tip: Deal hop and save

Keep an eye out for introductory deals. Many (perhaps most) NBN providers offer new customers a lower price for the first six or so months, after which the fee increases to an "ongoing" price. You can often save a lot by changing internet providers a couple of times per year.

What equipment do you need for an NBN 750 plan?

If it's been a good while since you last upgraded your modem or router, there's a chance you may need new networking hardware to get the maximum speeds of an NBN 750 plan.

WiFi 5 may be fast enough for 1Gbps speeds, but if you're buying a new device, you'll want WiFi 6 at a minimum. There are now also more affordable WiFi 7 routers on the market. If you're still using a WiFi 4 modem or router (also known as WiFi 802.11n), you'll definitely want to upgrade.

How to upgrade to an NBN 750 plan

If you were previously signed up for an NBN 250 plan, you should've seen your speeds automatically tripled to NBN 750. If you'd like to upgrade to an NBN 750 plan and you don't have the right connection type, there is hope.

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 750 plan. Read more about the process of requesting a free FTTP upgrade here.

In the future, 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.

At the time of writing, there's no free upgrade pathway at the moment for Fibre to the Building (FTTB) customers.
