Cya mate
I was with Mate for years. My partner had a really hard time trying to contact them with an account issue. We started experiencing internet dropouts. Didn’t want to have to deal with ‘support’ having seen what my partner dealt with. Switched over to another provider in less than 30 minutes with no outage. Drop out no longer occured. Such a shame to see all these bad reviews

Hey Mert,
We’re really sorry to hear that your experience ended this way. We understand how frustrating it is when things stop working and support doesn't feel easy to access, especially after being with us for years.
It’s disappointing to know we didn’t give you or your partner the support you deserved. We’ll take this feedback seriously as we work to improve the experience for all our mates.
Thanks for giving us a go.
Cheers,
The MATE team
Issue with my internet drop-outs
Had an ongoing issue with my internet connection dropping out. I first logged a ticket with the online App, only to find it had disappeared the next day. Frustrated and a little angry I emailed their support team. They got back to me the next day. After a few emails back and forth the problem was resolved within a few days. I've had no issues since.

Hey Jared,
Appreciate you sharing your experience, and we're really sorry it started off on the wrong foot. That missing ticket would’ve been frustrating, and we understand how that could shake your confidence.
We’re glad our support team could get things sorted and that everything’s been running smoothly since. If anything pops up again, you know where to find us.
Cheers,

I have been with mate for numerous years now. But for some reason their communication and service has really gone down hill. I have been without internet for 4 days now and have constantly tried getting through to mate but have to wait hours and for them to tell me its out of their control, not happy. NBN is not contacting me either to come out. Thought I would get a follow up phone call from mate to advise further instructions as nbn hasn't kept me updated. I'm very disappointed in this service and will be finding another provider.

Hey Amber,
We’re really sorry you’ve been left without internet and proper updates — that’s not the experience we want for our mates, especially someone who’s been with us for years.
We understand how frustrating it is when you're stuck waiting and it feels like no one’s taking ownership. While some delays sit with nbn, we should have done more to keep you informed and supported throughout.
We’d love the chance to make this right. Please reach out to our team so we can chase this up and get things moving: https://www.letsbemates.com.au/mate/support

Absolutely pathetic and not worth a single dime they get. Go anything else, even if it's slightly more expensive, at least you'll be getting decent evening speeds... watch if you get caught up with them, they'll try to take every cent off you before you break away!

Cheap for a reason
Cheap for 6 months - but cheap for a reason!
Make it very hard to cancel (can’t do via email, if you phone you get an automated message that it’s outside their opening hours when it’s business hours, they disconnect live chat if you don’t reply immediately and then have to reverify everything again), with frankly rude, passive-aggressive customer service when grievances are raised. The quality of connection is incredibly poor, despite transferring from a different company with the same listed speed plan.

Hey there,
We’re really sorry to hear this has been your experience. Cancelling your service should never feel like a battle, and we’re sorry if the process or communication added to your frustration. That’s not how we want to treat our mates.
We also understand how important a stable connection is, especially when you've been on the same speed plan with another provider.
Just to clarify, we’re required to follow legislated rules when it comes to verifying a cancellation request. You can find more about that here: https://www.letsbemates.com.au/mate/faq/verification-code.
We take this kind of feedback seriously and will use it to improve how we support and communicate with our customers.

Absolutely clueless
Lost internet connection to my apartment, was told needed to buy a new router which I did. 5 days later still no fix and have now advised it is an issue with my apartments wiring. Refused to put this in words to an email to me as well so am having difficulties now getting this fixed with my apartment

Hey Nicholas,
We're really sorry you've had such a frustrating experience. Being without internet for days and getting mixed messages about the cause is the last thing you need.
If you've been advised it's an issue with your apartment's wiring, we're happy to provide a written summary to help you communicate with your building manager.

After years of loyalty the decline in service
As many others writing reviews here , I have found the decline in service ridiculous . I have been a loyal customer for years and recommended this company to many friends and family . They use to answer the phone in minutes and sort any issues out promptly
. Now you wait up to 40mibs to get through . It is simply a joke and I am now in the process of shopping around for a better or comparable deal , with a more reliable company .

Hi Bill, we're sorry to hear you had to wait a while before getting to one of our agents. This is definitely not the level of support we strive to provide you and we apologise for any inconvenience caused. This has been passed onto the relevant teams for review. If you still require support, please DM us with your MATE code (account number) and your enquiry, and one of our agents will contact you ASAP. - Luke
We're leaving. Only way to contact MATE is via email, lucky if you get a response
Everything was going great until we had an issue - THERE'S NO WAY TO CONTACT THEM EXCEPT VIA EMAIL. Who mans these emails? I have not had a response regarding changing an appointment time, so took time off work to wait at home at original scheduled appointment for the whole day Just In Case the technician turned up. Still waiting. MATE is not a good Mate

Appalling, BEWARE
Appalling. Don't go near them.
I had been with MATE for a few years until recently.
Their contact system has changed to AI and its absolutely hopeless. Lost hours per day trying to get tech support over weeks. Had to go to the TIO to get a response from MATE.
Gave up and left the provider, best decision ever.
They have no customer service, no care but happy to take your money.
When they did respond only because of my TIO complaint, Emmanuel from MATE TIO level accused the TIO of gossiping about them. Astonishing !
BEWARE......

MATE IS A SCAM
If I could I would give them 0 stars! They are not an inclusive company. I was denied of an eSIM because I don’t have an Australian birth certificate or an Australian drivers licence. I asked them to use my credit card, private health insurance card to verify but I was denied of their service. On top of that I was given the wrong account number that I needed to use to transfer over to another provider.
They are a scam!! Be aware! Don’t use them

Bludger Internet
$100 dollars a month for weeks worth of atrocious internet, rather (no internet) connection. Don't bother calling "support" because there isn't any. Put on hold for 3 hours and still didn't get to speak to anyone. Should only have to pay $20 bucks this month mate! because that's all it's worth

Like so many others in recent reviews - Recent decline in service
Like so many others in recent reviews, my experience with Mate has gone downhill in the last week. I did receive a text saying that they were aware of problems in my area (near Brookvale, Sydney) but three days later, when I FINALLY go through to tech support, they had no clue that there was an area issue.
My guess is that Mate has a serious problem with their internet provision and that the flood of calls has overwhelmed their tech support.
My internet is extremely patchy now. regularly websites won't open and speed tests won't launch, then a minute later it works again. this is happening more than 20 times a day. I feel that they have prioritised some services (Google meet and netflix seem to work with very few interruptions) to manage their issue, but the result is internet that seems like it might be fixed only to see the same disappointing non-loading functions. Work from Home is just painful - I've gone back to my 4G router and using a Telstra simcard and all is good. I'll be leaving Mate as a result of this.

Shocking customer support
Been a customer for several years now and their customer service is beyond a joke. Have tried to get support for 3 days now and had to resort to paying someone to come in to identify the issue, is with the line. These issues have been going on for 3 months now and impacted on my capability to work from home. Whatever you do don't press #1 for a call back as that won't happen - I got an apology text next day advising to call 13... for priority handling and sitting here on hold 1:18 mins later. Is a joke - time for me to move to another supplier.

Immature company, requires experienced management and proper customer service
I've lived in various countries including Australia and never experienced this level of disgraceful inefficiency. Just moved back to Victoria as a retiree. A friend told me she was with Mate and was satisfied. She's also changed her mind now. In a hurry to get myself set up I went with them. What a mistake. The mobile phone part of the bundle works. Not their fault that NBN had skipped my house when running cables in my street, and I appreciate that they organised NBN. But things haven't gone smoothly so I needed to connect with people. That seems to be a major weakness that absolutely kills the customer experience stone dead. It's IMPOSSIBLE to speak to someone - I'm convinced there are too few people supporting a growing business and those people are working from homes in separate locations. Every person seems to work separately from each other with no team connection. Resulting in abysmal service. Technical problems. Accounting problems. Totally fed up with being told that we're mates and all of that rubbish .... I just want a professional service. As soon as I'm able, I'll be switching companies as this one seems to have a weak business model that impacts on customers.

Mate is a disappointment
I work from home and have no internet connection.
I’ve been waiting for over 2.5 hours for a tech support person to call me back. My hotspot connection from my phone (also with Mate) is so slow that it is not functional so I have been unable to work today.
I’ve had ongoing issues with dropping out despite paying for high speed internet on one of Mates top range plans!
