Best service in Australia

published

This is my second time when I write a review for Mate. I contacted their support and complained about the quality of the service after 1 year with them. They called me back the next day and helped me to identify issue. It was on my end.



Happy customer!

Not perfect but Almost perfect

published

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

All Australian service & support is a winner

Connected to Mate on a friends recommendation. Been with them at 2 properties & never got a speed less than 40MBPS which is well beyond guaranteed speed. It always helps when the tech team and support team is in Australia rather than overseas.

Impeccable customer service

published

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.

Excellent customer service!

I had a great experience with mate. I had previously tried to switch to the NBN with an alternate provider. The alternate provider was unable to help me get my own router connected. I sent mate a message and received a phone call within a few minutes. I signed up on the spot and had great internet the next day.

fantastic service, even better speaking to a provider who is contactable.

published

By far one of the best services going around, I was with Telstra and TPG and both sides are not contactable.
I signed up with Mate and I was connected in less than 48 hours which also included speaking to Mark and Anthony who guided me through the configuration.

Never Looking back Mate!!

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.

Helped me out when no one else had any idea what to do!

published

I moved into a granny flat 4 months ago and ever since had been getting the runaround from my real estate, NBNco, Telstra, TPG...basically anyone and everyone told me that I couldn't get a connection at my property without some enormous amount of time and effort. In 3 days I went from contacting Mate to having blazing fast NBN in my home. Having made the move to online classes for uni being able to get connected literally enabled me to keep finishing my degree. The best customer service and really went above and beyond, even helping me out on the weekend. Really cannot recommend them highly enough!

You guys are my saviours

published

Let's Be Mates, I cannot tell you how grateful I am for your incredible service. Fast, easy, and super-friendly to deal with. The connection happened less than 24hr after I contacted to join!!!!! I am so impressed, your dedication to providing a top service is excellent and I cannot thank you enough. Did I mention how FAST everything happened?! I have been a loyal customer to another provider for over 4 years and I have never been treated the way I was by you guys...hence why I left that provider. I will be shouting your name from the rooftops, highly recommended to all!!! Special shout out to Josh who took my frantic call and got all this sorted for me. UNBELIEVABLE. SAVIOURS!!!!!!

Couldn’t recommend enough

published

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.

Hi DebW,

We can confirm Fixed Wireless is a type of nbn service, however, we don't offer wireless broadband.

Please contact us on 13 14 13 and press "1" for sales, or email your full address to [email protected] so we can perform a service qualification check and advise.

NBN 50 (Best Mates)

At 7pm on the eve of me changing over to MATE, I thought I'd give MATE a call to see if there was anything I should know prior to my changeover. Well, the person I spoke to was annoying. He insisted on speaking over me all the time, and kept reciting over and over that because I was changing over on the 24th, [which is TODAY] there was nothing he would add. All I wanted to know was how will I be notified of my new log in and password and how long would I be without a connection, as it has been mentioned to me that sometimes it could be done within an hour. He almost accused me of lying, and that it could take up to three business days, and that he would review the tapes. He kept talking to me like I was some idiot. I was not amused, and almost threw in the towel there and then. His arrogance was astounding. You could do better hiring more pleasant people to handle your calls. I hope this wasn't a sign of things to come? Have I made a dreadful mistake, as I see others have had a difficult time with your service. Should I have gone to someone else? [639347]

Hey buddy, that sucks, the people I have spoken to have always been great. I can suggest emailing them, they answer really quick and there shouldn’t be communication errors that way.
