Flexible
I live 6 months in Victoria and 6 months in Queensland. Mate Communicate manage my connections and disconnections extremely well. Both are NBN connections with different speed capabilities that they can't manage. In due course I anticipate maximum speed in both locations.

Was good
Increasing worse service, I did like being able to contact a local call centre, however their inability to resolve any sort of problem just doesn't cut it. I've heard many times "Yes I understand and agree, but I can't help you"
This ranged from technical support through to billing.
Slow service and more frequent drop outs

Hi Adam,
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.... Read more
Firstly, we are very sorry to hear that you recently experienced an outage on your internet service and that you feel we weren't able to resolve this particular issue quickly enough for you. From our records, we can confirm that you logged a fault last Thursday and nbn advised there was a power outage affecting internet services in your area. This issue was resolved Saturday morning and the service was restored. Unfortunately, we do not own the underlying infrastructure that is used to connect our services. In this case, the issue was a power outage controlled by the commercial power supplier in the area and the resolution time was completely out of our control as it required third-party contractors to restore power. In saying this, we do understand that any issues with your connection are incredibly frustrating. In regards to frequent dropouts, we have checked your network logs and can't see very many dropouts at all on your service - for example, last month there was one recorded network dropout. If you would like to chat to us further about this specific incident, or about anything else related to your MATE service please let us know and we can contact you to explain this in more depth. Regards, The MATE teamThe issue isn't the infrastructure, I understand things happen. However your complaint management was appauling.
Also the frequent slowness, was logged with on many occasions without any satisfactory ... Read more
resolution. Your inability to resolve my issues lead me to not bother wasting my time logging the issue and just wait for the service to come back up.

Slow speeds and dropouts
We're on 100/40 plan and get dropouts daily, we often can't even stream yt or Netflix . We keep reporting and get notifications that the issue is fixed only to have the same thing continue to happen a day or 2 later.
If you want a provider that actually helps solve problems go elsewhere, these guys will give you a quick fix and run you through the same troubleshooting every time you call.

Great experience!
It was ready before we moved in to our new home! No waiting for weeks to get connected. The technician arrived at the scheduled time and there were no unexpected delays or issues.

All I can say is WOW
I have just signed up with mate due to such good reviews and i have not been disappointing, from the first phone call to the set up process they have been nothing but a delight. I have come from Dodo and nothing is worse then dealing with the call centre who are clearly not from Australia and do not care about how frustrating it can be to have constant issues(or being told after an hour of back and forth to be told maybe reset the modem... like you haven't already doing that for the last two weeks). I am excited to see how mate goes and even if...Read more
there is problems i am not worried due to the fact of how awesome the staff have been, I know they will help if an issue arises. If you are reading this in research of if this is the company to use. DO IT! You wont regret it! Once again. Thank you so much MATE team, your staff are incredible.1 comment

Great Speeds and awesome customer service
I switched to Mate from one of the bigger Telcos - due to the fact I could get a plan that offered double the speed for the same price I was paying. I have been really happy since making the change. My service was switched over VERY quickly, and the customer service team were really helpful helping me reconfigure my modem with the new settings. The customer Service team are obviously based in Australia and will do anything they can to help you out.- including callbacks if needed.
Ive now been using Mate for over a month, and the speeds and reliability of the service are fantastic. Id definitely recommend these guys.

Excellent customer service
I have been using MATE for around 2.5 years now. Always a reliable connection. Can't think of any dropouts.
The customer service team is excellent and very helpful. During this time I also changed my house and MATE team was very supportive in moving houses. My connection was moved to the new premises in an efficient way that I was not without the internet even for a single day.
Highly recommended.

Amazing speeds and great service
Never had an issue with MATE. Love that you have Aussie based support and signing up is a breeze. We signed up on a promotion, so paying 79$ a month for NBN100 connection. There is no account establishment fees, or lock in contracts. Overall fantastic service

Very good service!
After migrating to NBN, my connection would drop 2-3 times per day. I called Mate support, told them what I have tried so far and thankfully no stupid "I have to follow my troubleshooting script anyway" kind of call, they just scheduled a NBN visit, pretty straightforward. The problem is fixed now, NBN technician just removed the link to the old network on the curb box, letting my copper connected only with NBN, and connection is 12 days with not a single drop. 91/38 mbps most of the speed tests I did!

My speedtests never dropped below 90MBps.
All outages are announced, it happened only once after a couple of years! I did experience some drop outs but I believe it is a router issue.

This is the the best internet provider I have talked to.
The speed is good but not what promised, customer support is good but can't really help you other that telling you to turn modem off and on again and then inform you that they will refer issue to NBN and it should be dealt with within 48 Hours. I do not feel this is real customer service.
But again all said Mate is better than others I have been involved with (Best out of a bad bunch!)

I chose to go with mate after I had been given the run around by other telcos. They were awesome. Everything was so easy with the team from mate. They have the best products and are easy to work with.

Yes i get dropouts but generally not for long and most happen after the support team have finished so its never reported it was only ever out for a long time once and i was sent a text message informing me that it was trying to be rectified.

Reliable and Fast
Had ADSL+ 2 that would consistently drop out and with 4 people in the house always streaming the internet was shocking. Since we changed to the NBN 100 we haven't had any issues, speed has always been as good as advertised.
