Hi Alex, we're sorry to hear about your experience with our live chat bot and with our internet service. If you are continuing to experience the wifi dropping out, we recommend contacting our support team at 13 14 13, or alternatively, send us a private message with your MATE code (account number) and a member of our support team can look into this.

poor internet connection, good customer service
I left MATE after an extended outage (over 3 hours) on 6/12/24. This was not the first time. In April 2023, their service was out for over 3 days! I've never received credit for these significant service interruptions. I've also had momentary dropouts, which last about a minute, numerous times while on MATE. They forced me to invest in a 4g backup.
In every case, the issue was with mate (not the NBN or their wholesaler). From my observation, they take their sweet time fixing these issues. Customer service is good, but what's the point if the product doesn't work? They should invest in a more reliable service.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are so sorry to hear that your service had previously had issues back in 2023 and also had issues recently that caused you to leave MATE.
We can assure you that a credit is provided by our billing team if there is an outage or fault found on the network, and is applied after the issue has completely resolved. We would like to apologise for the frustration caused by the recent issue that occurred.
We are completely committed to improving our nbn services and handling, if you don't mind, we would like to get your account number so we can raise this experience to our relevant teams for review to improve our future customers' experience.
Regards, Luke
Happy customer
I have been with Mate for a couple of years now and I am very satisfied with them. Customer service is great! My NBN internet connection is faster and more reliable compared to my previous provider. I even got a discounted rate when I bundled my mobile phone.

Mobile data plans are ok.. for Australia which is deplorable compared to most other countries.
Couple this with super low data speeds and the inability to suspend or pause your service without permanently losing your number and you have a get rich quick company providing the services not dissimilar to the third world.

They save account passwords in raw text - I know because they sent it via SMS rather than use a secure password recovery system. There's no way any ISP should be doing this. Terrible security. Down for over a day, and no information - no contact, no details when called. They were somewhat tolerable for a while, but have become worse and worse. Can't get through to them for an explanation of why we've lost a day of work. Unreliable, and clearly dangerously insecure.

Disgusting company and customer service
Connected with this hogwash company over the past few months as they offered a discount for the first 6 months. Not only did they not honor it after the second month, but we've been kicked off online more than what we've actually been connected. This company is absolutely disgraceful! I've lost work as a result and been told it's not their problem and that there is no connection issues. I beg to differ. Can't wait to change to another company that actually is useful and doesn't drop out every 20mins. Yes, EVERY 20mins there's no internet. Do NOT go with this company.

Sending a creditor to me without any communications
Haven't been with them for years and now get a message from some credit company saying I owe money. I called them to find out what it was as it looked like spam and I had never heard anything about oweing any money to them. The man was so rude, saying 'I'm just sales' well there weren't any other options to select so not helpful. The auto waiting recording is clearly not even an australian talking or can not pronounce words correctly. Fake company, bad vibes.

Switched to mate purely for the price…
Switched to mate purely for the price for the first 6 months. From the first hour of being connected I was getting drop outs every 15min to 30min. Thought it may be teething problems so gave it a couple of days (was the weekend so had no choice). However, this happened the entire weekend.
I only gave two stars because when I called to cancel on the Monday the lady was very empathetic and apologized and gave me a refund without argument.
I then signed up to Spintel for $9 more per month and have had no drop outs at all. It’s been almost a week so far so hopefully this lasts. Also, After the 6 month offer, Spintel only go up $10 and not $30 like mate.

Bargain regret
Don't even bother signing up. From the week I signed up, I have been having an issue with mate. This is one of the most horrible and unreliable internet providers. I only signed up with them because of the low price but I wish I had not. I already signed up with my old internet provider to transfer. Stay away from them.

Another great ISP that has gone down the toilet.
This company were great when i first started with them a couple of years ago. Had excellent support, 250/25 plan. Speeds were great for about a year - year and a half.Noticed in the last few months i get between 15.9Mbps - 70Mbps. A lot of their old support services are no longer available. Left multiple messages and submitted fault forms with no replies to any of them. I refuse to pay top dollar for a greatly substandard service that i pay for, with no one to contact or looking to fix it. Its time to say goodbye to Mates and hello to Superloop who offer quadruple the speed at the same price. So they are also not competitive any more.

Been with Mate for years now. Love them.
Been with Mate for years now. No issues. While the support at times could be a bit faster, I hardly ever needed their help. Their service is just that brilliant. I had an issue at the beginning - but that was NBN related and not Mate's fault. Mate helped get the issue fixed and were there every step of the way, consistently updating me on progress. I had the same issue with another provider who wasn't able to get the issue resolved for a year. Mate got it fixed relatively quickly. Ever since then, no issues. The service is just running without hiccups or drops.

Got a 100 / 40 plan , decided to do speed tests and was 37/0,85 , been checking everyday and the highest was 72 /0.85. Just done another test ..31.15 / 0,75
\Rang them and the operator suggest it was the modem, it was a brand new modem and router.4 months ago did not have internet for 8 day and they blamed NBN. I rang the Federal minister David Gillespie and he rang NBN and his secretary told me it was the internet provider fault . And yet , with that information, mate still blamed NBN .Hint..Always record the phone call. That if you can record for over an hour as you have to keep hearing the stupid music and never ending recording . Wont be long and we WONT be mates 2 stars out of 10

First and foremost, we sincerely apologise for the speed issues you experienced with MATE. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide.
We’re sorry that the issue remained unresolved. If our support team suggested that the modem was at fault, we typically recommend testing a secondary modem/router and device to help pinpoint the cause of the problem.

FTTP 250/25 - Slow Speed through the Afternoon & onwards
When we initially used Let’s Be Mates's copper lines with a 100/20 Mbps plan, our experience was smooth and satisfactory.
However, after upgrading to the FTTP 250/25 plan, we encountered significant issues. During the day, we achieved optimal speeds, but in the late evening, our speeds would drop dramatically from 230 Mbps to a mere 3 Mbps, which was worse than our previous 100/20 copper line speeds.
We followed Let’s Be Mates's troubleshooting instructions extensively, but to no avail. Despite our efforts, the issues persisted, only to resolve themselves inexplicably after 6-7 months.
Unfortunately, new issues arose, which also took weeks of back-and-forth troubleshooting before they too resolved without any clear explanation.
As of June 2024, we once again faced slow speeds in the afternoon.
This time, I decided I had endured enough and chose not to undergo another lengthy troubleshooting process. Consequently, I have signed up with a new ISP and have experience no afternoon & onwards issues.

Had the unfortunate experience of signing up to their internet and mobile plan. 5 days and still no internet at home. We tried calling but were put on hold for hours and hours. Chat support mentioned that they will send a technician after another 10 days. This is unbelievable! How do businesses like this manage to still exist in this day and age. I guess they manage to scam as many people as possible and then run away ? Stay away from them and keep your sanity and use any other provider for internet that actually works !
