      This is true.
      Happened to me hence I left.

      Could you let us know what city you're in? I'm in Sydney and signed up to Mate last week to their 100Mbps plan - seems to be fine so far; but it is very concerning to hear something like this could happen.

    I used MATE's NBN a while back. Their internet speed was super unstable, whether it was off-peak or peak.
    It could be different now, but beware!

  • herman8 on 21/08/2024 - 12:28

    Definitely one of the worst isp's I've tried in terms of speed and stability. If you can shill out some extra money for another I'd say go for that

  • gingerscale on 21/08/2024 - 12:55

    Mate only have one POP in Syndey, so its pretty shit connected from anywhere other then Sydney lol

    • Gavman on 21/08/2024 - 14:57

      How many POPs do they have in Melbourne?

      • gingerscale on 21/08/2024 - 15:00

        one one in Sydney, none anywhere else in Aus. all traffic gets passed through Sydney

    was with mate a couple of months last year, lots of issues so as other said, not worth the $10

  • Vish36 on 21/08/2024 - 13:26

    @rfc850 I am trying to sign up but asking for a new development fee of $300? Is it something that can be waived?

    • Freedom90 on 21/08/2024 - 14:01

      You can't get that fee waived. NBN charges that. I had to pay that fee when I moved into a new developed estate.

    • Twix on 21/08/2024 - 14:38

      No you can't get the nbn new development fee waived. Check here if you have access to nbn FTTP.

    Not even for free mate

  • sunyuanxin on 21/08/2024 - 13:34

    they use CGNAT , right?

  • mrblu on 21/08/2024 - 13:40

    Does anyone know if this requires a special router? I have one from Dodo that I'm not sure if it's compatible?

    • Gavman on 21/08/2024 - 14:49

      what your connection?

  • simplerick on 21/08/2024 - 14:04

    Worth paying the extra $5 and going with more reliable providers like Dodo or Tangerine, anything is better than the alternative

    Previous customer's complaints about Mate. Notably, slow speeds down to 2mbps on 100mbps plan in evenings.

      Mate, that forum was over 2 years ago.. if they were that bad for that long, they might of gone broke by now.. anything recent, not from mid-2022? Plus im with Dodo now and i wouldnt call them that reliable… Been with them 4 months and had 2-3 outages so far. couple may have been NBNco. issue but who knows.

      • simplerick on 21/08/2024 - 15:21

        Here's the main discussion on whirlpool. Apparently Mate moved from Vocus backend to Wireline a few years back, and is known for it's unstable peak times, speedtests read fine, but Youtube and Netflix report abysmally slow speeds between 6pm and 11pm.

        https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/3n2nn583?p=165

        Hence why Dodo and Tangerine being Vocus resellers would be a more confident choice then Wireline (Mate)

        TanedaR

        They cut my speed during evening peak (6-11pm) to less than 10Mbps.
        I can't even watch youtube or channel 7 online. I can't check my security cameras remotely.
        And that was every single evening.
        I did a speed test on Ookala and fast.com, it shows 48Mbps download speed.
        I believe this ISP has made a special settings for speed testing website so you can't gather evidence to make a complaint.

  • Freestyle on 21/08/2024 - 14:41

    Superloop has similar deals i’m on the 250 plan now for 85/month

    Their overseas routing i found was better esp when playing MMOs and such.

    Also you can opt out of CGNAT for free

    • McFly on 21/08/2024 - 16:04

      Someone should nuke CGNAT from orbit.

    I understand the negative votes for Mate. Having gone a bad experience myself, I would totally avoid them. Take your business elsewhere.

    • Gavman on 21/08/2024 - 15:17

      Same but these are based on subjective experiences and the internet is riddled with similar experiences for all ISP's not just MateNBN. End of the day there no real risk of signing up.. they provide 30 day 100% money back guarantee. Plenty of time to weight up if they suck or not. Its like if the internet sucks for more than 1 hour people cant help themselves and go into melt down.. jeez its just the internet.

        Yeah, the internet which people use to work from home, study, trade on the stock markets, or even run businesses. Someone like you who lives with mummy and daddy and spends their whole day playing World of Warcraft with no responsibility to the outside world won't understand how important reliable connectivity is to most households these days.

        There doesn't seem to be any reason for you to be incessantly responding to almost everyone here trying to defend the shit service other than have some sort of other involvement with them, particularly when you have almost zero technical knowledge.

    Neg, just avoid this service provider at all cost. Was their customer once and never again

  • inherentchoice on 21/08/2024 - 15:47

    This deal is cheaper… cheaper by $6 per 6 months…

    Mate is the worst ISP i've ever had. they throttle hard any website that isn't akamai, microsoft, steam, google, youtube, apple and probably provision a lot less bandwidth as normal ISPs to save cost.

  • freekay on 21/08/2024 - 16:47

    All the people who have negged this deal are the true Mates. Saved me some headache!

  • zcream on 21/08/2024 - 17:34

    Can you upgrade and downgrade speeds during period and still get the offer? I don't need 100/40 ATM but will, in 3 months
