Hi,

I am currently interested in utilising Mates NBN services for my premises. We are NBN ready, have our own Modem and are on a contract with another ISP (Telstra) this will cease in May.
Could you please advise the best way to start a transfer to Mate? As we have a business from home, internet access is essential.

Thanking You
AB

MATE

Hi,
I have recently discovered the unreliability of the FTTN NBN. I have 5 days with no internet. Shoddy NBN techs. So I am curious if you offer a 4G backup like Telstra?
Thanks,

Hi hydraflexx,

Unfortunately we do not offer a 4G backup service at this point in time.

Don't believe what MATE tells you about speed. That's what I could tell you after using their FTTB for 6 months.

I think they are now over subscribing customers ("cheap and unlimited data"), while *NOT* keeping up with their infrastructure and internal training in customer services. Best to stay away from it.

MATE

So what’s the difference between the 25/5 and 50/20 plan, same price but double the speed? Is there a catch? Can’t see anything in the critical information..thanks.

3 answers
MATE Communicate
Vanessa S.MATE Communicate

Hi Yamate69,

We can confirm that our pricing has now changed for our 50/20 plans to $69.00 per month (excluding Fixed Wireless services). This was previously $89.00.

No difference. You would achieve only around 12 down and 2 up at best, anyway, regardless of what plan you choose and how much you pay. VOIP is slow and of poor sound quality - unusable for overseas calls.

MATE

Hi,

Does anyone with mate communicate use the VoIP service with a iiNet BoB2 modem? Did yours configure? I can’t seem to get mine working? My internet works perfectly with the modem, it’s only the VoIP that I’m having problems with.

Thanks Samantha

Vanessa S.MATE Communicate

Hi samanthanaidu94,

We have customers using various BYO devices with our VoIP services, unfortunately each device is different and the settings may not always be the same on one device compared to another.

For the majority of devices, the VoIP settings we supply are sufficient to configure the service.

MATE team
