FTTP NTD for NBN 2000 plans and Fergus' shoe

As part of NBN Co's September speed upgrades, NBN 2000 plans have now become available to NBN providers. We've seen a small number of providers start selling these already, including Aussie Broadband, Tangerine, More, AGL, Southern Phone, Leaptel, and Launtel. 

Dubbed "Hyperfast" plans, NBN 2000 offers download speeds of up to 2Gbps. Customers on HFC will get upload speeds of up to 100Mbps, while customers on FTTP can get an even faster 200Mbps. The NBN 2000 speed tier isn't available to other technology types. 

In terms of pricing, NBN 2000 plans have been priced at between $149 and $190 per month. Here's a look at what's available so far: 

ProviderPriceView Plan
Tangerine$159.90 per month for first six months, then $189.90 ongoing
More$190 per month 
AGL $164 per month-
Southern Phone$149 per month-
Aussie Broadband$189 per month-
Leaptel$155 per month for first six months, then $165 ongoing-
Launtel$6 per day ($180 per month in a 30-day month) -

Since NBN 2000 plans have only just launched, no providers have actual typical evening speeds for the new tier yet. Leaptel does expect customers will still get download speeds as fast as 1.7Gbps during the busiest times of the day. 

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 like an eero Pro 7 is ideal. 

Of course, not all devices will be able to achieve 2Gbps speeds themselves. WiFi 6 and WiFi 7 devices may be able to do so in some situations, but not all of the time. Many 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. 

If you order an NBN 2000, 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. 

If NBN 2000 is too expensive or unnecessary for you, NBN 500 plans also just launched. As the name suggests, speeds of up to 500Mbps are possible, but pricing is in line with NBN 100 plans. Compare these below:
