At MATE, we always aim to provide great value, local support 7 days a week, and internet you can trust.
From time to time, external factors mean we need to adjust our pricing. We want to be upfront with you about what’s changing and why.
Why the changes?
From 1 July 2025, the wholesale pricing that nbn charges us for internet services increased again as part of the Federal government and nbn’s annual wholesale pricing review (view official update), which includes CPI adjustments.
In addition, rising energy costs, significant increases in compliance and privacy costs, superannuation increases, and other operational expenses continue to impact the cost of providing your service. These changes affect all internet providers in Australia, including MATE.
Australians are using more internet than ever, with higher-quality streaming, video calls, gaming and remote work becoming part of daily life.
We always try to absorb increases where we can. However, to maintain the level of service, support, and network reliability you expect, a small increase to our retail nbn pricing is required.

⚡ Click here for speed upgrades from September (for supported FTTP & HFC connections)
If you’re on an eligible FTTP or HFC connection, some plans will get upgraded to faster speed tiers. These upgrades will begin rolling out from September 2025 and will be applied automatically.
Customers on our You Beaut nbn 100/40 plan are invited to switch to any of the new plans below, starting from mid-September. Please be aware that your plan will not be upgraded automatically.
| Current Plan | New Speed Tier |
|---|---|
| No Worries nbn 100/20 | 500/50 |
| Fair Dinkum nbn 250/25 | 750/50 |
| Flamin’ Fast nbn 1000/50 | 1000/100 |
If your address isn’t eligible for the upgraded speeds, your current speed tier will remain the same. We’ll notify you once upgrades become available at your location.
When will this take effect?
For existing MATE customers, the updated pricing will take effect from August and September 2025 with specific dates to be communicated by email.
Our commitment stays the same
Prices may change, but our identity stays the same. We are a 100% Aussie-owned provider. We offer unlimited data, no lock-in contracts, and local support 7 days a week from real Australians.
