Love Mate !!! The guys are fantastic to deal with … it’s great to talk to an Aussie team !!! Kevin was so patient in helping me set up my internet and stayed online to ensure everything was working well.
Anne
The best thing with Mate, is that their phone people are all in Australia. So no more hard to understand people with strong accents to contend with. That makes Mate the best ISP I've ever dealt with in over 20 years.

The customer service at mate is second to none. Michelle has been extremely helpful setting us up with our connection. It’s so good to be able to talk to somebody who is good at communicating and knows what they’re talking about.

Michelle answered my call for home Wi-Fi issue. Hearing her calm and collective voice was the first sign that I had the right person holding my hand to tackle the problem at my end. During the process, Michelle patiently stepped me through trouble shooting and finally located the cause of the issue.
