Useless Support Team with ongoing issues
For almost a year I have had a problem with mates service, which is unable to maintain a connection. It is up and down like a yoyo, 3 modems later, Mate's support team has tried numerous times to rectify the condition by placing various profiles on my service all to no avail. They have on multiple occasions said that they will escalate the issue to NBN to get something done, to date NOT ONCE to my knowledge has there been any action taken. Mate seems totally incapable of getting NBN to take action on this matter and did, only this afternoon, te...Read more
ll me that maybe I should find another provider. (The support techs words) After nearly a year of having an unstable service and no action by mate, to make sure that NBN rectifies the service, I have no choice but to find another provider. which is apparently ok with mates support staff as that is what they advise when they cannot find the fault.5 comments
What is the point Vanessa, previous experience has taught me that your company will do nothing to resolve this issue? However, in the vain hope that you may here is my code. 621814, although I have NO faith in your support at this stage..

Hi Chris,
Thanks for confirming your account details.... Read more
We are sorry to hear that you have no faith in our support team. We have looked into your account records and can see that you have called our team multiple times recently to report a red internet light on your modem. Each time, our support team has tried to troubleshoot with you and try and help resolve any issues, but you seem to prefer to abuse our staff members instead. You have called our support team for help but have refused to let us help you. As you have been advised on multiple occasions, we are unable to log into your modem remotely as this is your own equipment. The first point of troubleshooting for this issue is to guide you to log into the modem and double-check the PPPoE settings. You have refused to do the above on any occasion, however, our support team has still raised the issue as recently as Monday with nbn and we will let you know their response. We can confirm that all testing from nbn indicates that there is no nbn network issue and the occasional dropout issues you are experiencing are likely being caused by your modem and/or private equipment. Nonetheless, your fault remains open and is being monitored by nbn. If you are unhappy with the service and you believe our support team are useless, then you are free to cancel your service and try another provider as we do not have any contracts or cancellation fees.

Excellent customer service, 100% would recommend
I chose Mate as a provider based on their product reviews and have not regretted it. I live in a rental property (unit in multilevel block), and the process of applying for NBN was torturous and dragged out over months where I was trying to track down information from NBNCo and the real estate agent. This was largely due to incorrect information I was given by a technician at NBNCo.
When I dropped this hot mess on a mate customer service representative, everything went so smoothly. Mate provided me with frequent updates, and managed to arrange...Read more
for my situation to be reviewed by a case manager at NBNCo and resolved. Mate staff were always polite, reassuring, and conveniently available outside of normal business hours. Their record management system seemed to be pretty good too, as whoever I spoke to seemed to have decent knowledge about my case, so that I didnt have to keep explaining things every time I called up. I havent experienced any drop outs or further issues after getting connected, and the NBN upload/download speed has never lagged. Would definitely recommend Mate as a provider. I dont usually write product reviews but feel compelled to because their service has been exemplary1 comment

Outstanding service and great to deal with.
I joined Mate as I was unhappy with IInet whose pre NBN service quality had rapidly diminished over the decade I had been with them .
I am pensioner age with a hearing problem . I grew tired of struggling with an overseas operator whom I could not hear properly, working from a noisy and crowded overseas call center .
Mate have Australian based operators whom I can hear pretty darn well. They have helped me greatly in the transition from ADSL to NBN. I had an NBN dropout problem which they were able to sort with the NBN.
Kudos to the young ...Read more

Best phone company I’ve ever dealt with
When ever The has been a problem a call to mate and the situation is reported and I have been updated throughout. Transition to NBN was faultless. Staff were great with their help and advice about nbn.

Excellent service and product provided by an outstanding company.
We started our contract as ADSL (as NBN was not available at that point) set up of contract was so simple, new modemn was sent within that same week. Only ever had one problem with the connection. Rang and spoke with a staff member right away. The job was logged and I received constant updated on for the solution was progressing. was fixed the next day.
When NBN became available, simple phone call to move across. The new part was sent within several days.
The product is excellent but what stands out in the outstanding service.
Highly recommend Mate!

Fantastic customer service, quick service connection and consistent speeds!
I signed up online to Mate after reading some reviews online. All the positive reviews were correct. These guys have been a pleasure to deal with. My FTTP connection was active within 2 hours and even got a proactive follow up call from an agent to check if everything is OK. So happy and would definitely recommend!!

Mate, you are offering Excellent Services
I did not experience any breakdown. When there was a repair slowdown, polite and apologetic messages were send in advance. I did not have any contact with the Customer Services, because there was no problems needed to contact them. I am leaving Australia for a long time, but I am sure, when come back, I'll join Mate again.

FTTN Speed OK
We went from fibre to the premises to fibre to the node with Mates. It's slower but still very good. Any problems such as relocating have been dealt with professionally. We have never experienced any dropouts but have seen notifications from Mates concerning such.

I am not a great user of internet but the 25mbps + unlimited data is perfect for my needs
I have only had plan for 6 weeks but suffered no problems at all. So only speak positive regarding service. Needed to call customer service on few occasions to clarify plan etc. & consultants have been very helpful & efficient.

Mate are the only company that actually found my NBN connection. Literally every other provider could not find my property listing on the NBN database. They are compassionate to an individuals circumstance and try their best to work with you. Would highly recommend their services.

Best value for money around
The combined package of unlimited data, month by month subscription, dollar per speed, and quality of customer service is the best I could fin. I thought the 25mbps would be fast enough for my youtubing and netflix, but even the YouTube buffers more than I'd like. So I'm not 100% confident in these guys but so far so good.

Great Service
I've been using Mate since my dad recommended them to me when I moved out of the family home. 18 months later and the service is still fantastic. On the rare occasion that I've encountered difficulty, I always get a speedy response from someone who appears to be genuinely happy to help and not jaded from years of working in customer service (like me). I recommend them highly to anyone who asks and couldn't be happier with the service.

Mate NBN beats optus hands down
Started on a 12mb connection. It was so easy to get connected. Mates had the job done in 1 day when optus had taken weeks until I gave up. Second month I wanted to go up to 25mb connection and mate explained that well. When I stuffed up the dates mate helped me fix that too (even though it was 100% my stuff up). Couldnt be happier with their customer service and ease of getting connected.

Smooth Transition
We moved from ADSL with another provider to NBN with Mate Communicate and have had no issues. The connection is great and we have not had any dropouts. The customer service provided by Mate Communicate is nothing short of excellent and the staff are polite and friendly and always helpful. I highly recommend Mate Communicate services; they are really such a refreshing change from those other providers.
