Fantastic customer service. Good grade of service.

NBN50 service, generally up. Some connection drop-outs but haven't been a customer since before the COVID measures and so many more people at home, I'm sure bandwidth allocations/management haven't been easy.

Great service from an Aussie Company

I have been dealing with mate for the past 2 years now without fault. Customer service is excellent when needed and they are quick to resolve any problems. I have referred multiple others to Mate and they are just as happy.

Fantastic

Can't complain about our connection. It's fast (averages 90+ Mbits), it's stable and Mate customer support is fantastic. We have multiple products with them and will be a loyal customer for a long time to come

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

published

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.

Do you have details on minimum upload speed for typical busy period on each plan?

Hi kennyboi,

We can confirm there is no minimum upload speed specified from nbn.

That doesn't make sense. Why would there be minimum download speed but no minimum upload speed?

Glenys Cooper
Glenys Cooper

Our upload speed with Mate varies between 8 and 10mbps

mARJasked

MATE

How does Mate work if you are going to be away for over a month. Can you have a break of NBN service/

2 answers

Well you need to ask them directly. By calling them. i think you can if you call them probully a month in advance. They dont charge any sign up fee or exit fee.

MATE Communicate
Vanessa S.MATE Communicate

Hi mARJ,

All of our plans are month to month and we are unable to suspend or place an account on hold.

However, you could cancel your service before the start of your next billing cycle and then sign up to a new account to reactivate the service when you are back.

Regards,

The MATE team

MATE

Why am i paying for the fastest speed and only one person can be connected at one time?

1 answer
MATE Communicate
Vanessa S.MATE Communicate

Hi Deanna,

We can confirm the soul mates nbn 100 is suitable for 6+ users, however, if only 1 person can connect at a time, this definitely sounds like an issue.

We would recommend contacting our support team on 13 14 13 (press "2" for support) or email our support team at [email protected] and we can perform troubleshooting.

Regards,

The MATE team.
