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!)

Awesome
All in all a great service, With a few random dropouts from time to time but no major issues experienced. The transition went without a hitch and would recommend Mate to all

Great Aussie company
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.

Its great 95% of the time
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.

Hi Andrew,
Glad to hear your switch from ADSL to nbn has been a good experience!... Read more
Despite a lot of negative publicity, for most customers, nbn should be a much better connection and a much better service than ADSL. Thanks for your feedback! Regards, The MATE teamSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

No thank you
After installation, our nbn 100 speeds where as expected in the day time, but during peak times we were getting single digits. Initially we were informed that it was our router (a brand new router set up per mate's instructions,) After several calls and dozens of tests, screen shots, resetings, research, and emails, mate finally informed us that it was a problem with NBN Co. More tests, calls, emails, ect... Finally Mate informed us that it was their broadband provider and that the situation would be resolved by the end of my billing period. ...Read more
By this time we have paid for nbn 100 but were receiving dial up speeds from the time of getting home from work, to bed time. While Mate's customer service was sympathetic (excluding one specific call that was incredibly derogative,) at no point did Mate offer us any compensation for over a month of extremely poor service. We were with Telstra for 20 years with our cable internet before switching to NBN. We would have gladly stayed with Mate if we felt they would make it right. They were more interested in keeping the monthly charge than our long term business. They gave us no way to identify the problem, I have seriously had better experiences buying a burger from McDs. The price was attractive but after the money lost, the time lost, the person business lost in the inability to remote my work computers, we were more than happy to pay a little more and move to ABB.1 comment

Hi PrivateName,
We are sorry to hear of your experience.... Read more
We can confirm that compensation is usually awarded if it is determined to be an issue inside the NBP (Network Boundary Point), so if you were not offered this then this may have been an oversight or error. We'd like to look into this further - so we can do so, can you please advise your MATE Code/account number so we can assist? Regards, The MATE teamSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Love it, well worth the money
Had many bad experiences prior to this one, Exetel, Telstra, Vodafone you name it. Currently loving the Soulmates plan, connection has been solid so far and the speed is pretty good.
So since my previous review apparently "didn't offer enough details in a customer or user context" for Product Review how about this:

Perfect
Was previously on ADSL+ 2 which was as good as you get for ADSL plans, did cut out sometimes and could be slow during the evenings but that's expected. We've moved and now have NBN 100 and it's perfect. They don't throttle your speed like TPG, OPTUS etc. Always a steady connection. Upload speeds are great. Really hope it stays this way.

I have been with Mate for NBN, and more recently my mobile plan, for almost 2 years. In this time, I have had no complaints with either service - both are reliable. Their customer service is prompt and of high quality

No dropouts, no problems, everything is fine. I never had any problem with connection. Speed is also OK.
More or less always inside promised speed. So leave it as it is. Don't change anything.

Happy Days!!
Easy setup and consistent high speeds (on average speed test is around 92mbps), even during peak periods. Clear and simple to follow communication from the Mate team around the service, and anytime I had to reach out for support or just to ask a question the response was very quick and helpful. Great mates!

The best provider ever. Give the big companies a miss and go with these guys
Connection averages 89mb/s.
Quick delivery and service configured in 20 minutes.
Yet to have any dropouts or service failures.
Australian customer service reps that are informative, efficient and polite.
I highly recommend MATE

My New Mates!
I'm an avid internet user and have been with many providers over my time, how ever as cliche as it sounds, these guys have become my ISP Mate.
I've been with Mate for over 12 months now, and I can honestly say its been a VAST improvement on my previous providers. The support is second to none (I will add that I am yet to have an issue that is Mates fault, yet they have supported my call regardless, AND they have always been SUPER friendly), I have always spoken to an Australian call center, they have already given me a "Mates Rates" deal when ...Read more
I moved home. I honestly have nothing to complain about. I'm moving from Melbourne to Brisbane in the next few weeks (as soon as our new place is finished), the new house has an FTTP service (which I am really excited about), and there is no denying I will be continuing my service with Mate. Thank-you to Mate, for making our internet service a seamless and hassle free one, and I look forward to sticking with you.1 comment

Excellant! AAA+ Service and great company to deal with!
Signed up for Mate NBN 100/400 Soul Mates during the $79 per month promotion in June.
Excellant service so far and actually better than my mostly reliable Optus HFC cable service that i'd have for many years. Great work and fantastic to deal with!

Best internet I've ever had
Great customer service, great internet connection, and good prices. Not really had any dropouts apart from when we lost electricity due to storms. Definitely a great company and beat the big names by far.

Overall very happy with the service from Mates. We did have some evening buffering though even on their fastest speeds. It wasn't too bad though. Customer service is very good and almost a pleasure.

ht great have to buy one of them now but with out even saying the great people at make said they will send me a new one just have to send the old one back free of charge. How good is that yeah $$ saved instead of being smashed for more cash. If you want good customer service good price on service and more then happy staff go with mate. You can’t go wrong and if you think they are f#%kd then in cancel it’s easy but I bet you will be like my self an just keep with them. Ps I’m not getting paid for this1 comment

Extremely fast connection within 1 hour from phone call. Amazing customer service, no waiting to speak with someone
Never had a drop out. Faster speeds than expected as previous NBN only reached 78MB download. 4K on 2 tvs at once never skips a beat. No issues at all with service.
