Haven't had any problems

published

speeds at about 30-35mbs down. Would be nice if it's a bit faster. Hasn't dropped out. Was connected very quickly outside of business hours. Haven't had any issues with this connection yet. FTTP.

Worked patiently to resolve an NBN situation that others wouldn't

We live in a Duplex (type) situation and initially NBN wouldn't connect us. Mate worked for 2 mths to resolve this and get us connected over the Xmas 2022 period, which was fantastic.

Great service

published

I have been using mates for over two years now and I must say they have outstanding service. Never had any major issue with the service. When I had some minor issues, they resolved it very quickly unlike my previous provider. I have referred mates to a few of my friends and they are all very happy with mates. Although the speed advertised is not what I am getting, I am happy with the overall product. Problems with the internet speed is due to the fact that the node is very far away from my house.

Best customer service!

Mate was there for me from day 1, even when I was questioning the NBN service during the delayed rollout. If it wasn't for the continued support and timely email responses, I don't know where I'll be right now.

Fastest transition ever to a new NBN connection and best and fastest phone support experienced

published

I was moving from Exetel to mate. From the moment I got in touch with them, they have acted and communicated very fast and intuitively. It has been such a smooth transition. So far, internet has been good.

Great provider!

published

I’m extremely happy with my NBN internet with Mate. From the first phone call to sign up, to receiving the modem, to plugging it all - all that transition from previous provider was a breeze and the service I am receiving is very reliable and fast. Never had any dropouts. I highly recommend!

Amazing service, cannot ask for any better customer service.

published

Mate communicate has been great! They have provided an amazing service all throughout. They have been very flexible, with quick connection service. I was away for 3 months and couldn’t have thought that disconnecting and reconnecting internet connection would be such an easy process. Cannot ask for a better internet provider!

Still waiting for the NBN to work

published

Unfortunately, when my new modem arrived, I found the connection didn't work so Mate & the NBN guys are working on it. However the WAY that they deal with the problem is the big thing. They communicate well and make me feel like they are doing their best to get it sorted. I have 100% confidence that my issue will be resolved swiftly.

Lost my job because they wouldn't give me an extension for a week

published

I work in ICT infrastructure stated my job requires me to have an active internet connection at home as there is a lot of after hours work, it's actually in my contract. Without the internet at home I don't have a job. They refused to help (although I have always paid my bill) and now I no longer have a job. So thanks for that. I'm currently talking to a lawyer.

Excellent Service

published

The original offer from Mate was well worth considering. They were very helpful in arranging a connection date that suited me. The phone support was quick and very good when I needed a bit of help plugging in at the beginning. Initially the internet kept dropping out for large periods of time. Mate organised for a NBN technician to come out and fix it as soon as possible. Now it is working very well (no drop outs).

I even got the Wifi Modem from Mates in order to minimize blame game on routers/modem. Doesn't even cover the room beside the router where it is placed

Satisfactory service so far

published

We are using Mate's NBN 50 service since about 2 months now. Speeds are below what we expected, and we already had one half-day outage. Apart from that the service is stable and customer service helpful (we called once so far).

Great service. Australian customer service.

published

I was with Mate for a bit over two years. They were great for me. The Internet service was always solid. The service over the phone was great. I got to talk to Australians in Australia. I had to move and unfortunately they could not provide the service in the new development because there was no nbn connection. I would have kept my service with them.

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.
