Risposta di MATE
Hi there, we’re really sorry to hear this has been your experience.
Frequent dropouts are incredibly frustrating, and we understand why you’d be disappointed if you haven’t felt properly supported while trying to get it resolved. That’s not the experience we want for our customers.
We’d still like the opportunity to investigate the connection issues properly and see what’s causing the instability if you’re open to it.
Cheers,
The MATE team
AVOID!
AVOID!! I would put zero stars if I could. They try and take money on days they’re not supposed to as I set up a payment plan. They just took the last of my money for food for my kids for the SECOND time now. They’re slow and sometimes don’t even work at night time. They’re fake and nice on the phone but they’re sneaky and absolute rip offs. Worst internet company I’ve ever been with!

Hi there, we’re really sorry to hear this and understand why you’d be upset.
If a payment arrangement was in place and payments were taken unexpectedly, especially in a way that impacted your ability to buy essentials, that’s something we’d want to urgently review. We also understand your frustration around service performance and evening slowdowns.
We’d really like the chance to properly investigate both the billing concerns and the service issues you’ve raised. Please contact our support team so we can review the account and work through this with you.

Suppose to be one of the best cx service
I am rating my experience with them as I was shocked by the dryness and limit rudeness of both the 2 customers agents I reached yesterday and today. And my shock is that I was looking to sign up, not an existing customer with issues, nothing to fix. The sales part should be the easier part of it all, the one where it's easy to talk to the customer but all I got was impatience, short answers at questions and clarifications I had. After the 2nd impatient and dry lady I talked to today hung up our call with the driest "have a good day" I have ever heard, I decided against signing up. This is a bad beginning !!!!

Hi Maggie, we’re really sorry to hear this was your experience, especially as someone considering joining us.
You’re absolutely right that first impressions matter, and the sales experience should feel welcoming, helpful and patient from the very beginning. What you’ve described is not the standard we aim for, and we understand why it left you disappointed.
If you happen to remember the names of the agents you spoke with, along with the approximate time and date of the calls, please let us know so we can raise this internally and review the interactions properly.
Cheers,

Terrible experience
Terrible experience. Everything looks nice and easy in the app, but when you actually try to cancel your service, the cancellation button conveniently does not work.
Then, when you try calling, you spend ages talking to an automated system, only to be left on hold with the waiting music for what feels like another hour.
Really frustrating and disappointing experience. Cancelling should be simple, but Mate makes it unnecessarily difficult. Very poor customer service.

Hi Joaquin, we’re really sorry to hear this.
Just to clarify, the issue with the cancellation button not working was a known bug which has now been fixed, it was definitely not intentional. We completely understand how frustrating that experience would have been at the time, especially combined with long wait times trying to get through another way.
We appreciate you calling this out and helping us improve the experience.

Don't go near Mate if you want a reliable, fast connection
I have been with Mate for four weeks after being sucked in by the NAB credit card discount deal. During that time I have had two drop outs each lasting 6 to 8 hours. I never had dropouts with my previous ISP (Launtel). Downloads have never reached the advertised speed. Another long drop out today was the last straw so I churned to Superloop which is providing a download speed well avove the advertised speed. Same PC - same LAN!

Hi Christopher, we’re really sorry to hear about your experience, especially with multiple long outages and speeds not meeting expectations. We completely understand how frustrating that would be, particularly when comparing it to your previous provider.
Extended dropouts like the ones you’ve described aren’t the experience we aim to deliver, and we can understand why you decided to move on.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and giving MATE a try.

Service sucks, cost sucks.... pay for 2gb download get less than 1gb, don't do it.

Hi Ricky, we’re really sorry to hear this has been your experience.
Not getting the speeds you expect, combined with difficulty reaching support, would be incredibly frustrating. That’s not the level of service we aim to provide.
Just to clarify, all our plans are billed in advance and typical busy period speeds are outlined upfront, but we understand that doesn’t help if the experience hasn’t matched expectations.
If you’re open to it, please contact our support team so we can investigate your speeds and connection properly.
Cheers,

MATE customer since 2018
I’ve been with MATE since 2018 and have had a consistently good experience. I’ve always been on a 50/20 internet connection, and the speeds have reliably matched what I’m paying for.
I also have mobile phone plans with them and haven’t had any issues there either.
Overall, MATE has been reliable, straightforward, and easy to deal with. Happy to recommend them.

Hey Mike, thanks so much for the great feedback and for being with us since 2018.

Really appreciate the recommendation.

Happy with both nbn and mobile
I use both nbn and mobile with Mate. I watch tv streaming, and mostly just 1 computer, 1 tablet and 1 phone at the same time. Being just one or two users in the house, the slowest Internet is fine, although I get regular invitations to upgrade. I haven't had noticeable drop outs. When I've called Mate, staff is always friendly and helpful. Speed on call pickup has improved since I first joined over a year ago, so I'm a happy customer.

“mates” is absolutely garbage!!
Absolute garbage worst internet connection I have ever witnessed constantly dropping what’s worse is I called them about it and the were very rude and tried to shut me off and tell me to call back on Monday so yeah I will be calling on Monday to cancel it so if your thinking of joining “ mates” don’t do it save yourself the headache and don’t pay the scam money that they are asking for! The internet connection is as useless as their service is

Hi Kevin, we’re really sorry to read this and can understand how frustrating that experience would be.
Constant dropouts combined with an interaction that felt rude or dismissive isn’t acceptable, and that’s not the level of service we aim to provide. Being asked to call back without proper help would only add to that frustration.
We’d like the chance to properly review what’s been happening with your connection and how your enquiry was handled. Please reach out to our support team so we can investigate this further and escalate where needed.

They sneakily raise prices
They sneakily raise prices, and canceling is a nightmare – you have to call them, but their hours don't even line up with WA. Plus, you're stuck paying for the whole month if you cancel before your billing cycle, even if it's just a few days in. It's ridiculous!
And the service drops out a lot.

Hi there, we’re sorry to hear this has been your experience.
We understand how frustrating price changes, cancellation timing and service dropouts can be, especially when it doesn’t feel convenient or fair from your side. That’s not the experience we want for our customers.
Just to clarify, billing cycles and cancellation terms are outlined upfront, but we know that doesn’t make it any less frustrating when timing doesn’t line up the way you’d expect.
If you’re open to it, we’d like to take a closer look at your service and see what’s been happening with the dropouts as well.

Mate is not your mate
I am a long term customer of mate and 7 years ago they were a small nimble company looking after customers
Now, they a bloated, unhelpful and rude company wallowing in many ususpecting clients with complete disregard for customer service

Don't do it
I was with Mate for several years for both NBN and mobile phone. I had no major issues up until about six months ago when we started having problems with latency. Online gaming and video conferencing performance was abysmal. I tried on multiple occasions to rectify the issue with Mate's help line but they simply went through a process of elimination changing router settings which made no difference. After some research, I concluded the issue was with Wireline, Mate's wholesale NBN provider. There are plenty of documented issues with Wireline so my suggestion is to avoid any ISP retailer who uses Wireline as a wholesaler.

We’re really sorry to hear about the latency issues you experienced, especially with gaming and video calls — we know how frustrating that can be. It’s clear you put a lot of time into trying to get it resolved, and we’re sorry we didn’t get that outcome for you.

Hi Mat, we’re sorry to hear about the ongoing dropouts and the frustration around IPv6. That’s certainly not the experience we want for our customers.
IPv6 availability can depend on router configuration and firmware compatibility, but constant dropouts shouldn’t be happening and deserve proper investigation. We’d like the opportunity to look into both the stability of your connection and the IPv6 setup.
Please reach out to our support team on 13 14 13 or via support@letsbemates.com.au so we can work through this with you.

Poor service
Due to a 'billing error', my router was not shipped. I called on the date of the cutover, and was informed of this -> I needed to pay for the remaining amount that was meant to be charged, and they will then ship the router. No problem solving nor flexibility on their end, there is apparently no express shipping available, and 5 day shipping is the only option. Have asked to speak with a manager, but apparently they won't be calling back until Monday. Terrible experience.

Hi Yang, we’re really sorry this was your experience.
While outstanding balances do need to be resolved before hardware is dispatched, the communication and overall experience should have been clearer and more supportive. We also understand how the shipping timeframe and delay in a manager callback would add to the frustration.
We’d genuinely like to review what happened here and make sure it’s handled properly. If you’re open to it, please contact us on 13 14 13 or via support@letsbemates.com.au so we can investigate this end to end.

Drops outs
Have been with MATE for over 8 years now didn't have a single issue(besides price increasing) until July of this year were I had been experiencing constant drop outs was told it was my modern so I spent $300 on a new one for the same issue only be told it's all good on their end and it's my issue. It's ashame cos now I'm forced to switch providers and I never would of cared until the dropouts happened.

Hi Paul, thanks for taking the time to share this, and especially for being with us for over eight years. That kind of loyalty really matters, which makes it even more disappointing to hear how this played out.
Going from years of stability to constant dropouts is frustrating enough, but being advised to replace your modem and then still having the issue unresolved is understandably upsetting, particularly after spending that kind of money. That’s not the outcome we want for any customer.
Connection faults like this can be difficult to pin down and can involve multiple factors, but we know that doesn’t make the experience any easier when you’re the one dealing with the impact. We’re genuinely sorry it reached the point where you feel forced to switch providers.
If you’re open to it, we’d be happy to review what was checked and how this was handled, even if you’ve already moved on. You can reach us at support@letsbemates.com.au or on 13 14 13 and we’ll take another look.
Thanks again for the many years you spent with MATE, and for being honest about your experience.
Cheers,

Scam Company
Can't wait to get off this ISP

Risposta di MATE
Hi Damian, we’re sorry to hear this has been your experience.
Ongoing packet loss and ping spikes are frustrating, especially if you’re gaming or relying on a stable connection, and we understand why that would lead to this level of disappointment.
To be clear, we don’t require customers to purchase a MATE supplied modem, and recommending a modem is never intended as a blanket fix. Troubleshooting equipment is only one step in diagnosing stability issues, and many customers successfully use their own hardware.
If you’re open to it, we’d like to properly review what’s been happening with your service and the advice you were given. You can reach our support team on 13 14 13 or email support@letsbemates.com.au so we can take a closer look and make sure the right checks are done.
Thanks for sharing your feedback, we take concerns like this seriously and use them to improve how we support our customers.

Hey Charlotte, we’re really sorry to hear this, that would be incredibly frustrating and it’s not something you should have to deal with.
Having to turn Wi-Fi off just to receive emails points to a local network or connection issue, and it’s something our team can help diagnose and fix rather than you being left to work around it. We understand why you’d be fed up, especially at this time of year.
Please reach out to us on 13 14 13 or email support@letsbemates.com.au and we’ll take a proper look at what’s happening and see if we can get this sorted before you make any decisions.
Thanks for calling it out, we do want to help.
