What our mates are saying about us
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.

Great team at MATE! Honestly whenever I have a problem they fix asap. Just spoke to a gentlemen by the name of Luca, he was a legend. Was very patient and did all he can do to assist with the outage.
Hayssam
Was so easy to install and the internet is a blessing. Before it was dropping out every 10 minutes, we have had 2 dropouts now each for about a minute. The service they provide is excellent.
