As well as this, the nbn rollout is essentially complete. The nbn network has been introduced into almost every area in Australia. Since most people are already connected, when they look for a provider they look for the best value nbn deal. They also look for an nbn provider that won’t give them a lot of hassle, one that makes things simple and easy with pleasureful support avenues that aren’t frustrating to deal with. There are many people throughout Australia who are looking to sign up to an nbn plan for the first time or change to a different nbn plan in order to get more value out of their connection to the nbn network.
At MATE, we offer a range of nbn plans designed to suit different lifestyles and household needs. Our options include the Crikey 25/10 plan, the Ripper 50/20 plan, the No Worries 100/20 plan, the You Beaut 100/40 plan, the Fair Dinkum 250/25 plan, and the Flamin’ Fast 1000/50 plan.
Each of our nbn plans is crafted to suit different internet habits — whether you’re a student, a young family, a busy household with multiple devices online at once, or someone who relies heavily on fast, reliable internet for gaming, working from home, or running a business. No matter your lifestyle, we have a plan to keep you connected and supported with great speeds and unlimited data.
Although these nbn plans are designed for different ways of life, you can rely on us to have some essential similarities between the plans. When you sign up for an nbn plan from MATE, you can rely on us to include uncapped data, no contracts, no setups, no plan change fees and, of course, our all-Aussie customer service/support team that is ready to help you with any concerns or questions that you might have. As well as this, all of our nbn plans come complete with our one-month money back guarantee. If you’re not satisfied with your nbn plan, all you have to do is let us know before your second month, and we’ll cancel your nbn plan, giving you a full refund of your plan fee.
Before we can discuss our amazing nbn plans, we’ll go over some key terms, to help you get a better understanding of your new nbn plan. These key terms are “Mbps” and “typical busy download period/speed”. “Mbps” stands for megabits per second and is the unit of measurement that’s used to measure upload and download speeds. This form of measurement will be used to measure your plan’s typical busy period download speed, which will be the speed of your internet during 7pm-11pm. Not only is this important because it lets you know about the speed of your nbn plan, but it can also let you know about the different tiers of the nbn network.
The nbn network is divided into different speed tiers, designed to suit a variety of lifestyles and household needs. These tiers include nbn 25/10, nbn 50/20, nbn Home Fast (100/20), nbn Home Fast+ (100/40), nbn Home Superfast (250/25), and nbn Home Ultrafast (1000/50). The naming convention for these tiers typically reflects the maximum download speeds available. For example, nbn 25/10 offers a maximum download speed of 25 Mbps, while nbn Home Ultrafast offers a maximum download speed of 1000 Mbps.
Since the speed tier is the main difference between the nbn plans we offer at MATE, it’s important to choose a plan that matches your household’s needs — whether that’s casual browsing and social media, working and studying from home, or high-demand activities like 4K streaming and gaming. To find out more about what nbn speed tier you might need, click here.
Before you can get started with selecting an nbn plan, you must first make sure that you have all the necessary equipment to ensure that you can connect to the nbn network. Firstly, you’ll need to make sure that your home is available to connect to the nbn network. Alternatively, if you’ve moved into a new home, you may find that your new home has previously been connected to the nbn network. If you’d like to find out if your home or business has been connected to the nbn network, check out the nbn network’s very own rollout map here.
If your home is one of the many homes which has already been connected to the nbn network, you’ll then need a modem or router, so that your home can access the nbn network. If you already have a compatible modem or router, all you’ll need to do is sign up for one of our many nbn plans, which you can find here. Alternatively, if you need a modem or router, there are a range of devices for you to choose from. At MATE, we offer the TP-Link Archer VX230v nbn compatible modem, which can be easily supplied to you for just $165.00.
The TP-Link Archer VX230v nbn compatible modem is one of the most reliable modems available, able to provide access to the nbn network, as well as provide access to ADSL internet, making it a perfect modem for those who have access to the nbn network and for those who are still waiting for the nbn network to arrive in their area. Alongside providing both access to ADSL internet and the nbn network, the TP-Link Archer VX230v can also be used to connect to a number of wireless devices, such as smart TV, gaming consoles and set-top boxes.
And for those who don’t feel they’re as tech-savvy as everyone else, the TP-Link Archer VX230v is designed to be one of the most user-friendly modems on the market, with a user interface that offers easy navigation, allowing to see what devices are on your home network. So before you start shopping around for nbn plans, if you’re looking for a high-quality modem that’s easy to use and nbn compatible, then look no further than the TP-Link Archer VX230v nbn compatible modem, proudly offered to you by the team at MATE. If you’d like to learn more about the TP-Link Archer VX230v modem, click here.
At MATE, we offer our plans in three ways. We can either offer you a nbn plan by itself, for those who have all the hardware and don’t need any other equipment. As well as this, we also offer two bundles with each of our plans, offering the nbn with either a 4G mobile plan or a home phone service, so that you can stay connected to your friends and family. To find out more about how adding a mobile phone or home phone service can affect those monthly costs, visit our nbn plans page here.
Our first plan is our Crikey 25/10 plan. This plan offers a maximum download speed of 25 Mbps and an upload speed of 10 Mbps, with a typical busy period download speed (7pm–11pm) of 25 Mbps. This plan is suitable for individuals and small families of 2–4 people. It’s a great option for everyday use like browsing, social media, music streaming, studying, and casual gaming, with plenty of upload speed to support video calls and working from home.
During a typical busy period, the Crikey 25/10 plan allows smooth web browsing, checking emails, and watching HD streams. However, it’s not ideal for running multiple HD or 4K streams at the same time. If you’d like to find out more about the Crikey 25/10 plan, or how bundling it with a mobile service can affect monthly pricing, check out our nbn plans page.
The next plan we offer is the Ripper 50/20 plan. This plan uses the nbn 50/20 speed tier, providing a maximum download speed of 50 Mbps and an upload speed of 20 Mbps. During a typical busy period, it delivers a reliable 49 Mbps, making it ideal for households of 4–6 people, share houses, or those working or studying from home.
With the Ripper 50/20 plan, you can browse, check emails, stream music, game online, and run up to three HD streams or one 4K stream without interruptions. It’s a perfect balance of speed and value, with no data caps and no lock-in contracts. If you’re after consistent internet without the hefty price tag, this plan is for you. Find out more about the Ripper 50/20 plan or explore bundling options on our nbn plans page.
Moving up, we have the No Worries 100/20 and You Beaut 100/40 plans. Both plans deliver a typical busy period speed of 97 Mbps. The No Worries 100/20 plan offers 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload, while the You Beaut 100/40 doubles the upload speed to 40 Mbps, making it ideal for video calls, uploading large files, and high-end online gaming.
These plans support multiple simultaneous 4K streams, intensive gaming, working from home, and large households with 6+ users. Like all our plans, they come with unlimited data and no lock-in contracts, ensuring flexibility and value. Explore more about our No Worries 100/20 and You Beaut 100/40 plans today.
For those chasing even more speed, our Fair Dinkum 250/25 plan sits on the nbn Home Superfast 250/25 tier. It provides a maximum download speed of 250 Mbps and an upload speed of 25 Mbps, with a typical busy period speed of 231 Mbps. Perfect for very large households, heavy internet users, remote workers, and gamers who demand the best performance.
Finally, for those who want the absolute fastest speeds, we offer our Flamin’ Fast 1000/50 plan. Sitting on the nbn Home Ultrafast tier, this plan delivers speeds of up to 1000 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload, with a typical busy period download speed of 831 Mbps and 49 Mbps upload. It’s ideal for households or businesses with 8+ users, enabling 8K streaming, massive file transfers, ultra-smooth gaming, and next-level remote work performance.

Other Frequently Asked Questions About nbn
How is the nbn network installed and connected to my home or business premises?
The installation of the nbn network into your home or business is designed to be as efficient and comfortable as possible. If you’re having the nbn network installed directly into your home for the first time, an adult over 18 will need to be present to let the installer in and approve the work completed.
Typically, you’ll need to work with the installer to decide on the ideal location for your device to be installed, considering easy access for you and where it can be efficiently connected to the network’s external device.
For certain connection types like FTTN/FTTB, where no additional equipment is needed inside, your connection will simply use an existing telephone socket.
What nbn plan is right for me?
At MATE, we have a range of nbn plans that are designed to suit different lifestyles. Whether you live in a small household or need high-speed internet for a large family or group, we’ve got you covered.
From our Crikey 25/10 plan, which offers a typical busy period download speed of 25Mbps to the Flamin’ Fast 1000/50 plan, designed for 8 or more people, with a typical busy period download speed of 831Mbps, there’s something for everyone.
It’s important to note that actual speeds are not only influenced by the type of plan you have but also by your nbn connection type. For example, if you have a plan that provides you with a typical busy period download speed of 48Mbps but you’re connected to the nbn network via FTTN technology, your average internet speed may be slightly slower.
Beyond this, there are many other factors that can affect your internet speed, such as your location, proximity to a Fixed Wireless position (especially for rural users), and the quality of your devices.
Who will be getting access to the nbn network?
Quite simply, the nbn network is dedicated to providing high-speed internet connections to every home and business across Australia. nbn™ hopes to achieve this goal, aiming to ensure that everyone can enjoy the full benefits of the internet at high speeds, regardless of their location in the country. The government has already completed most of the nbn rollout, meaning that most Australians should now have an active nbn connection or have it available for installation.
If you want to know how you’re connected to the nbn network, there’s a very easy way to find out. Before you select one of MATE’s many nbn plans, you’ll be asked to enter your address and see if your home or business is connected to the nbn network and how it’s been or will be connected to the nbn network. With this information, you’ll be able to determine what type of nbn plan will best suit your home or business.
What do I need to prepare for the nbn network?
As the nbn network is rolled out, it has replaced the existing copper telephone infrastructure, which means that services that once existed on this infrastructure have been terminated. If you’re in an existing property, there’s minimal preparation needed on your part for the nbn to set up its network; nbn™ will handle most of the internal setup, although there are a few exceptions. However, for a new property, you may need a private technician to provide a trench and conduit for the fibre cabling installation.
Thankfully, getting your phones and internet-ready devices prepared for the nbn network is straightforward. Simply call an nbn provider like MATE and talk to them about what plan would best suit your lifestyle. At MATE, we’re all about delivering value and connecting you smoothly. If you want your devices on the nbn network as soon as possible, check out our range of high-quality, high-speed nbn plans on our website, or you can live chat with us online or email us at [email protected].
