Yes, you need your own modem to connect to the internet with your MATE nbn plan. If you already have a compatible router, our BYO policy allows you to use it with our plans at no extra cost — you’ll just need to configure it to our network.
If you don’t have a modem, we can provide one for you for a one-time fee.
What are the different nbn connection types?
There are various types of nbn connections used to connect your home to the Australian national broadband network. Each uses a different mix of optic fibre technology and the type available at your address is determined by NBN Co.
Common fixed line nbn technologies include:
Fixed wireless nbn is often used in rural areas where fixed line technologies are not available. Hybrid Fibre Coaxial or HFC, is also known as cable internet. This type of connection uses fibre optic cable most of the way to your house, after which coaxial cable finishes the journey.
Is a technician required to set up my MATE home internet?
If an nbn service hasn’t previously been connected to your property, then a nbn technician will need to come and install the nbn equipment at a time when you’re home.
If your home has already been connected to the nbn, a technician is not required to set up your MATE home internet connection. All we need to do is simply transfer the service. Usually, this will only take a few hours. However in some cases, it may take up to 3 business days.
