The short answer
This is the closest matchup on the site, because these are arguably the two best NBN providers in Australia. Superloop is slightly cheaper at every shared tier and posts the best ACCC-verified peak speeds of any monitored provider, 101.0% of advertised download. Aussie Broadband costs about $5 to $6 more per month at NBN 25 and 50 and answers with the strongest customer service reputation in the market: a 4.7/5 ProductReview average, the 2026 Canstar Most Satisfied Customers award, and a 100% Australian-based support team. You will be well served by either; the choice is roughly $60 to $72 a year against a support experience.

Prices as at October 2026 from each provider's published plans (both raised some prices on 1 July 2026). Both are month-to-month with no lock-in and unlimited data. Promotional pricing for new customers may apply, for example Superloop currently offers about $20 to $30 a month off for six months (sale ends 30 September 2026; check Superloop's site as this promo may have since expired). Speed figures: ACCC Measuring Broadband Australia, final report (Report 33, June 2026).
Speed: a 4% gap you may actually measure
Superloop's 101.0% result means its customers, on average, received slightly more than the advertised speed during the 7pm to 11pm peak, the best performance in the ACCC's final Measuring Broadband Australia report (Report 33, June 2026). Aussie Broadband's 95.2% was among the lower scores in that group, though it still comfortably outperforms the unmonitored budget tier. In practice: on NBN 100, that is roughly 101 Mbps against 95 Mbps in the evening. Noticeable on a speed test, mostly invisible on Netflix.
Aussie Broadband counters with unique transparency: it publishes real-time utilisation data for every point of interconnect on its network, so you can see exactly how congested your local link is. Superloop does not offer an equivalent.
Support and extras
Aussie Broadband's service reputation is the best in Australian broadband: Canstar's 2026 Most Satisfied Customers winner, 4.7/5 on ProductReview, and consistently praised onboarding. Superloop's 4.3/5 is itself well above the industry average; this is a contest between good and excellent. Both are ASX-listed Australian companies (SLC and ABB), both support BYO modems, and both facilitate NBN Co's free Fibre Connect FTTP upgrade for eligible FTTN and FTTC addresses. Aussie Broadband adds gaming-optimised routing and seniors plans; Superloop's edge is simply the sharper everyday price.

Our verdict: Superloop or Aussie Broadband?
We recommend both of these providers regularly, which makes this a pleasant verdict to write. Superloop wins the spreadsheet: cheaper at every shared tier and the fastest verified peak speeds of any monitored ISP. Aussie Broadband wins the phone call: when something breaks at 8pm, its support team is the one you want to reach.
If you have never needed to call an ISP in your life, take Superloop and bank the $60 to $72 a year. If your household treats an internet outage as an emergency, Aussie Broadband's premium is cheap insurance. Either way, you are choosing between the two best options in the market.
