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

Fast reliable service
Overall a quick fast response for NBN connection. So far I am connecting at the speeds that are advertised. Signed up in the late afternoon and was connected later that night. Overall a great experience.

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.

Tons of dropouts the Voip service has static on the line LOTS of work needed NBN a total disaster, NOT mates fault it's the shoddy botched workmanship that the "Telstra Technician" did with the connection between my place, the distribution point and the node.

THING to do with it Mate is trying their very best with a dodgy hodgepodge botched horse and cart style system, Mate has practically bent over backwards trying to get things ironed out. They explained to me over the phone that NBN co is government owned and they CAN'T get NBN to budge. They also explained to me they WISHED it was full fibre as well, So much for technology CHOICE nope forced to use FTTN as are my neighbours, The worst of the tech.1 comment

Best service and internet provider
I had used other service providers and had terrible customer service and internet. I switched to Mate two years ago and have only experienced great service and internet. When I moved over to Mate, I brought my own hi-tech router, that in the past has proved to be difficult to configure, but with Mate, they provided all steps and the settings, which made the process so easy. I have never experienced internet speed issues, or service interruptions. On the one occasion, the internet did drop out while I was not home, Mate sent an update as to why and an apology. I highly recommend using Mate.

A simple product that works
The product works.
The website is a bit awkward to use.
But their product works and is reliable and does what it's meant to do.
Their customer support is always responsive.
I'd be happy to recommend these guys, having been with them some time now.

Do not complain or you your service is cancelled.
Do not complain about poor speeds or you get kicked out and you are no longer their 'mate'. I have an NBN100 service and for a long time I have been getting slow speeds (down to 50Mbps) and episodes when there is no service at all despite the NBN box having all lights on. After multiple calls to resolve this issue, finally an NBN tech was requested, NBN 'fixed' something and Mate said it was all resolved. Expecting a normal service I was surprised that the speeds were worse than usual. I emailed my 'mates' at Mate as it was after hours and the ...Read more
next day I received a call from a 'senior manager'. The call went something like this: 'We are giving you 30 days notice after which we will terminate your service as NBN says there is no problem and we cannot provide the service you require'. What I was later informed that I could stay with Mate as long as I did not complain about the poor speeds and NBN would not come out to our address again. What! After reflecting on this bizarre approach to customer service, I have decided that NBN is probably right - there is no problem with the connection to my house. The problem lies with the back-end of Mate (and many other ISPs), and this service provider is using load shedding and throttling causing my multiple problems resulting in my not getting what I pay for. So long Mate, I am heading to another ISP that doesn't use your back-end.2 comments

Hi Mark S,
We are sorry to hear you are unhappy with your MATE experience.... Read more
We can confirm that we have logged multiple fault cases with nbn regarding the speeds of your internet service, and nbn has confirmed that there are no technical issues. nbn has advised that your internet service is working within specifications and this has been proven with extensive troubleshooting. We can also confirm that you were not advised that you can stay with MATE if you don't complain about poor speeds - what you were advised is that you are free to remain with MATE however you will need to accept that we are no longer able to log any speed issues as nbn have confirmed a few times that there are no issues with this service. It is our job to help customers and we truly believe we have done everything in our power to try and help you resolve any issues you are experiencing, however, nbn owns the network and as advised, we are unable to push this matter further. We wish you all the best with your new provider. Regards, The MATE teamHi Vanessa.S from Mate

It’s ok
We have had regular spooling and slowing of service most nights from around 8pm onwards. I haven’t contacted Mates about the issue yet. I am assuming it is beacause it is peak hours

Speedy & helpful response when I had problems
After a recent thunderstorm my router started playing up. In no time they had an NBN technician out to look at my problem, then sent a new router to me & everything is working perfectly again.

Great Service
I had never heard of Mate before but their nbn offer was competitive and they offered no lock in contracts so I thought I would give them a go.
The process was surprisingly easy from the beginning and the service was great. I have called their customer service line twice now and both times my call was picked up promptly and my queries were dealt with easily.
I have experienced a couple of connection issues from time to time but I have read online that this is a pretty standard thing with nbn in general and that I just need to cycle my nbn gat...Read more
eway. I have been doing this about once a week and everything has been working really well and I consistently have really good speed. I used to have an adsl connection with an average down load of about 2mb/s and I am now on the soul mates 100 plan and I generally have down load speeds of about 96mb/s. All in all I have been very happy with my experience with Mate so far and would recommend them to anyone else looking for an nbn retailer.1 comment

FAST installation only took a couple of hours. Free connection. No contracts or advanced billing. Phoned call centre and an Australian in Australia answered, no issues with other countries but their call centres are not good.

Best service around
Connection active in hours. Promised speeds were delivered. Any problems with NBN Co they easily sort it out and organise to get a technician to your house ASAP. Great customer service, they listen to you and try to help you out, they actually call you regarding issues just so you don't feel as if you're being sent pre written messages/updates. You receive text message notifications for any and all matters regarding Mate, very responsive and very helpful. You will appreciate the ON shore call centres & support.

Good service and performance from Mate
My NBN service had been degrading for a time. I made the report and Mate organised the NBN to attend my residence to investigate for problems.
The NBN guy showed up when he said he would and efficiently found the fault which was in present in a connection pit some 300 metres from my house. Service improved but dropped off the following day with the upload speed being higher than upload speed. I duly reported it.
Mate were excellent with their follow up to see how the work went and wasted no time to contact me to arrange a modem reset. The co...Read more
