NBN Connection is shocking, as was my ADSL.
Yes constantly dropping out, both ADSL & NBN. Mate previously sent a tech out, however my connections have not improved, even when I upgraded from ADSL to NBN... I’ve had my hands full and haven’t had time to search alternative providers, but I’m done with using this service. I’ve had this issue for a few years now and find I have a better connection hot-spotting my mobile data.

Great speed!
Great speed throughout the day including peak times.
I’ve been with Mate Communicate for about 2 years now and never had any issues regarding speeds.
Even the customer service is pretty good.

Excellent reliability and customer service
I have had few downtime from time to time, but I'd say less than 2 or 3% of the time, probably even less than that. Really happy with their service, they've been pretty responsive when I'd require something out of them.

No complain about the Nbn service. Stable connection and fast. My wife no more complaining. Which is sound good to me. Hahhaha
Don’t delay, make a move and apply it.

Can't complain about our connection. It's fast (averages 90+ Mbits), it's stable and Mate customer support is fantastic. We have multiple products with them and will be a loyal customer for a long time to come

Not perfect but Almost perfect
I think i been getting my internet from this company for 1~2 years now on NBN 100 plan. As we are in Australia (in my case NSW) the internet is not perfect and I do get a few dropouts time to time. However, I will say they counter this with the customer service team. I have used at least 3 other companies and every time I called them it was an overseas customer service team, very difficult to understand, slow, useless and I personally don't know why they are even working there. However, every time I call Mate communicate service team it was all local, I guess the only downfall is we can't call them after working hours for support.
My overall experiences from past and present, it is very pleasant and good

Very happy to hear that you have been pleased with our local support!... Read more
In regards to our hours, with our support team are all based in Australia, there are trade-offs we have to make in order to keep this the case. We could easily extend our support hours if we were to have offshore support but this is not something we are willing to do as we are committed to 100% Australian support. Nonetheless, we will take your feedback on board. Thanks again for your review! Regards, The MATE teamSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Impeccable customer service
The internet connection is 95% reliable, most of the time when the internet speed tends to drop is from normal peak times and or terrible weather (no fault of their own). Their customer service is absolutely amazing. Fluent, clear and articulate English speakers that always handle my inquiries with a sense of urgency, I was never put on hold for a long period of time. I always get an e-mail or a call back from Mate Communicate when the lines are busy. Their reputation speaks for itself, I hope they continue to have the same quality of service in the future.

Great coverage, service and set up coupled with efficient, personable professional service.
I chose the 100 NBN plan. Connecting took less than 1 business day (amazing) and I was guided on the phone and aided by detailed emails. The call centre is in Sydney and each and every representative liaises with a human touch and are NEVER pushy or rushy. They are so helpful and patient. Their service is for everyone.
I have my mobile with them as well (they use Telstra 4G network-another plus) and for my NBN I’m paying less than $70 a month for constant speeds around 88-92 mbs wirelessly with no intermittent dropouts. It’s also a no lock in...Read more
contract like all of their offers. These guys are the real deal. They know NBN inside out. They will help you at all times no matter what department you call. Just a great Aussie company that I came across recently. More people should go with this reputable Aussie company. Thanks to Frank, Josh, Luke and the entire MATE team. You are the most reliable company in this sector I’ve ever come across. Thank you again!1 comment

That good told all mates and family - Super fast and excellent customer experience!
It was refreshing to get excellent friendly and Australian service, these guys where consistently above average in customer experience hooked up mobile phone and NBN 100/20 soulmate deal where I got $10 off all up $69 for 100/20 at time of writing Covid 19. The NBN service wasn’t being connected for a couple of weeks later and they handled it absolutely brilliantly and exceeded my expectations. Nothing was ever a problem to them and they actually made things happen as one would expect. I had courier problems outside of their control, courie...Read more
r missed delivering for two times effectively going to take over 5 day in delays, asked if I could go buy my own they actually took the initiative and recommended compatible NBN modem/router to buy, but that they would recall and refund their NBN modem, not even a sidestep, even sent me an email of compatible modems as well a guide to connect after I bought as well as letting me know support times due closing time of their support that night so I was well informed to make a decision, further if anything went wrong at times with technology it does that the would offer support Mon to Sat and their times, these guy fully armed me and didn’t try to take the easy option of telling me to wait however long so they could make the $149 on their modem and not support me with outside modem, awesome work guys. They provided all I needed as well as provided me connection details so it was a simple task. In short, raced to Office Works and bought recommended modem followed instructions and after waiting for modem to syn with NBN connected without a hitch. In a word brilliant. I have tested the speeds and I am getting well above the advertised speed going 90 + Mbs coming down and at least 38 mbs upload well over the 20 mbs so very impressed with speeds mind you this is with YouTube on TV, daughter on Zoom with 4 cousins video streaming and myself on iPad doing test... so overall very impressed thus far. The Mates Rates are excellent however, now knowing the level of service I would not leave them even if there were $$ differences as the customer service is priceless. The thing I find impressive whilst we are in Covid 19 lock down these guys made you feel great and made it happen even turning a situation outside their control to owning it and working to the customer wants, where you are the King - good old fashioned service, if I could give 10 stars I would it was so refreshing to experience. I have now verbally and highly recommended this company to all my mates and family and even putting my time in to transfer elderly family across to Mates. I have had such terrible experience by TPG in product service and customer service as well as Telstra where service was offshore terrible experience bordering on frustrating where I would not recommend or even go back even if offered it for free (notice I deliberately did not use the word service it’s because they don’t offer it, see my review on TPG first time I gave a negative review as I always look for a positive - that is in this case, I found a better service with Mate). Further in these hard times Covid 19, I fell good about putting $$$ back to employing Australian workers and our economy not like other providers. Well done Mate, I can see us being mutually beneficial soul mates for a long time - I will not be going anywhere now and will continue to refer all and sundry to your service! :). In closing if you are with another provider or are in process of looking for one, your search is over for best deal, speeds as well as kudos of supporting fellow Australians and being serviced by Australians you can’t go past Mate. Highly recommend for exemplary customer service and product service - 10 stars out of 5 Brilliant.2 comments

Only had it for a day so can’t really comment on it. Just wanted to commend the CSRS. Speed tested the internet and it is their advertised speeds. Very very reliable so far.

Couldn’t recommend enough
Signed up to Mate the other day with nbn 100 and switched my mobile plan over. Both have been great, I speed tested the nbn and had over 90mb/s and phone has good service everywhere. Couldn’t recommend this service enough, everyone I have spoken to have also been extremely helpful and friendly.

Excellent customer services
Very reliable internet service. Was so impressed with the efficient and prompt customer service we have bundled everything with Mate - home phone, mobiles and internet. No issues with service or speed which is a huge improvement on previous service provider constantly telling us we live in a black spot and that was the best we could expect . As I am not tech savvy it is refreshing to have a provider set up the modem so all I had to do was plug it in. Always provides updates at every stage of changeover to Mate and detailed step by step and FAQ information very useful. Thank you for the great service.

Reliable service
Had to connect to NBN so chose Mate and I am glad that I did. I have HCF connections and bought my own router. Mate organised everything with NBN for the technician to come. I configured router by myself but they do offer a help as well. It was very easy and straightforward process. Connection is stable don't have any dropouts, I choose unlimited and NBN100, on average my speed at evening is 70Mbps. When you call they very approachable. They using a lots of "mate" word

mate internet
I have been with mate internet for about 6 months
I have found the service and speed to be very good.
They may not be the cheapest out there but when you speak to support, you hit an ozzie.
It makes a big difference to me to not have to battle thru a language barrier, and your keeping people employed here. For me a thumbs up

Value for money
Was happy with the consistency of the speed and value for money, however the service didn’t end up meeting my needs.
I needed a provider with a more technical user portal where I could manage all of my needs and, where needed, troubleshoot my own connection problems.
I’d have no dramas recommending MATE to anyone looking for an affordable no frills service, just good value for money.
I didn’t need to contact tech support during my time with MATE so I can’t comment on their tech support and wait times.

If the nbn connection is dropping out, then there is obviously an infrastructure issue. If this is the case, the problem will just follow you to the next provider. Have you contacted our support team to try and assist with this on nbn? You mentioned we sent a technician out, was this an nbn technician for your nbn connection, or was this a Telstra technician for your ADSL? Can you please advise your MATE Code/account number so we assist you in trying to resolve the problem? Regards, The MATE team
