What is nbn® 1000?

The nbn® 1000 plan is one of the fastest residential nbn® speeds available in Australia, but it’s only accessible over certain connection types. Not every ISP offers nbn® 1000, the good news is that we do! The maximum download speed on these plans is 1000 megabits per second (Mbps), which is equal to one gigabit (Gbps) – hence the nickname ‘gigabit internet’.

With a maximum download speed of 1000 Mbps, this tier also now offers a maximum upload speed of 100 Mbps, delivering double the previous upload capacity and making it ideal for video calls, cloud backups, and households with multiple high-demand users.

If you regularly have more than five users browsing, using VoIP phones, heavy gaming online, streaming 4K or 8K video, downloading large files, running home offices, or doing whatever they do on the internet, this Gigabit internet plan might be a good option for your household.

Can I get nbn® 1000?

Not everyone is eligible for gigabit nbn® just yet, and it will depend on what technology is used for your connection. You’ll need an FTTP (fibre to the premises) connection at home in order to access this Ultrafast internet.

Gigabit nbn® is another name for nbn® 1000. It refers to internet plans that deliver download speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second (1000 Mbps). These speeds are designed to support multiple devices, high-resolution streaming, and demanding online activities at the same time.

Is 1 gig internet good for gaming?

How many devices can 1Gbps support?

Gigabit internet can support 10 or more devices streaming, working, or gaming online at the same time, making it suitable for busy households and home offices. Gigabit internet can support even more devices if they aren’t performing data-intensive activities.

Is gigabit the same as fibre?

Gigabit internet is up there with some of the fastest speeds available for home nbn®, while fibre broadband is a method of delivering that internet connection to an address. In Australia, gigabit nbn® is delivered via fibre – a network of fibre-optic cables that are made up of a combination of optical fibre and coaxial cables.

Is 1Gbps enough for streaming?

Definitely. In fact, with nbn® 1000, you can have more than 10 devices all streaming 4K/Ultra HD simultaneously without any latency issues.

nbn® home Ultrafast removes the bottleneck that is experienced with some lower speed plans, meaning you can heavily stream, browse, work, and study with ease without your internet throttling you.

Do I need a special Ethernet cable for gigabit speeds?

No. Most standard Cat 5e Ethernet cables can support gigabit speeds of up to 1 Gbps. For best performance or future-proofing, Cat 6 or Cat 6a cables are recommended, especially for longer cable runs or newer equipment.

If you need some assistance just reach out to our friendly team on 1300 66 55 75.

How do I know if my router is capable of gigabit speeds?

To get the most from nbn® Ultrafast (1000/100 Mbps) and higher plans, your router must be able to handle gigabit internet. Look for these features:

  • Gigabit Ethernet ports (1000 Mbps or faster)
  • Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 capability for modern devices
  • Support for high throughput across multiple devices

If your router is more than five years old, it may struggle to deliver full gigabit speeds. That’s why we recommend the eero 7 mesh router, now available with eligible Swoop plans.

eero 7 supports internet plans up to 2.5 Gbps with two auto-sensing 2.5 GbE ports, plus Wi-Fi 7 wireless speeds up to 1.8 Gbps. It’s future-proof, eliminates Wi-Fi dead zones, and is perfect for large households, gamers, and remote workers.

For a seamless experience and peace of mind, you can order the eero 7 directly through Swoop. It comes with parental controls, eero Secure, and ongoing updates to keep your network running at full speed.

What is the difference between a gigabit router and a normal router?

A gigabit router is built to support internet speeds of up to 1 Gbps (1000 Mbps), which is required to get the full benefit of nbn® 1000 plans. A standard router may only support lower speeds and can limit performance on ultrafast nbn® connections.

Gigabit routers also support newer Wi-Fi standards, stronger coverage, and multiple devices using high speeds at the same time.

With Swoop, you can choose the eero 7 mesh router, which supports nbn® speed tiers up to 2.5 Gbps, uses modern Wi-Fi technology, and is designed to deliver fast, reliable whole-home coverage.

Was the nbn® 1000 plan part of the 2025 nbn® speed upgrade?

Yes. The nbn® 1000 plan (previously 1000/50 Mbps) was uplifted to 1000/100 Mbps on 14 September 2025 for eligible FTTP and HFC customers.

This means you now enjoy double the upload speed, making video calls smoother, cloud backups faster, and shared household connections more reliable.
