    Any gamers have any ping during peak time feedback?
    Currently my superloop has regular ping spikes.

    • daemon on 11/05/2022 - 17:15
      +13

      it was pretty good before, but in last 2 months or so I get dropped packets at night (~5pm-11pm)

      • zcipod on 11/05/2022 - 17:47
        +6

        Similar for me. Got significant packets dropped in recent 2 weeks(better than @daemon’s 2 months)

        The experience of online game is terrible at night

        • mirrinz on 11/05/2022 - 18:53
          +4

          Same with the packet loss - only been the last 8 weeks for me around the Geelong area - Technicians are currently working on it apparently noting this has been extended 3 times.
          I am on the soul mates package

            @mirrinz: Unfortunately I've had peak time (8pm-11pm) connection dropouts when playing LostArk. Viewing Australian hosted content isn't too bad where media streaming services are mostly consistent. In the past 2 months I've had about 3 total WAN dropouts where my modem wasn't getting any pad0 packet responses (no PPPOE response from Mate). Mate never proactively indicate an issue and i constantly have to hit them with modem logs. Following each email, Mate acknowledge the issue but never give any explanation of the root cause.

            However if you are working from home and need internet for work or media streaming (Netflix etc), this should be fine.

        • eggseoxie on 11/05/2022 - 21:44

          this is exactly my experience too! I notice its terrible during peak hour as you described. Apex and Dota2 have had up to 50% packet loss. Had one of their technicians check it out a month or two ago and they blamed it on the heavy rains we had earlier damaging our node, with no ETA for a fix…

        • tdubz on 11/05/2022 - 22:10
          +2

          I've experienced the same thing in both houses I've lived in the last 4 months - packet loss every evening. I'm on the 100/20 plan. They mentioned their provider has identified that there is indeed a fault.

          "Due to the complexity of the issue, an estimated resolution time has been set for 21/05/2022 for this issue to be resolved." - I have sent them the IP to the game I play (Apex Legends) so I don't know if it's only going to resolve it for Apex Legends or all the other games I play on occasions too.

          I'll see how it goes after…

          • samba on 11/05/2022 - 23:27
            +4

            @tdubz: Also adding that I have/had been experiencing the same issue in the last two months. As soon as it hits peak times, packet loss out the ass. 20-50% packet loss. I have lodged several tickets and had several issued identified and fixed, but I believe it's to do with the CVC we're connected do. MATE uses the vocus network and doesn't have their own infrastructure the way ABB does, so you're sharing your infrastructure with lots of other RSPs and households, and MATE has no control over how congested they are.

            • tdubz on 12/05/2022 - 09:01

              @samba: Yeah anything in peak has been ass, and I find it hard to believe that even if they'll be able to resolve this, that it'll be a long term solution. I figured it would have to do with the CVC as well which is unfortunate. There's only so much "good customer service" can do. You pay for what you get I guess?

              I may have to switch to ABB and cop the difference. Have you made the switch yet?

    • AlexTheKidd on 11/05/2022 - 17:18

      I am on their 250/25 plan.

      I play Warzone frequently at night and no issues that I've noticed.

      On a side note, Disney+ does lose quality when streaming frequently, but I believe this is their subpar bitrate as Netflix etc is fine.

    • jnewau on 11/05/2022 - 17:31
      +4

      Its very hard to answer this because it depends on how constrained the CVC is on your local interconnect, and its different for everyone. I've been with them for a few years and it's been great on 100/40 FTTN on NLTN. The last week or so NNTP performance has been woeful between 7-10pm. When not downloading, even using Discord has been virtually impossible as theres enormous packet loss so everyone sounds like a robot, while pings to WoW and other games remain fine.
      They claim not to shape traffic but I get suspicious when theres great performance on the popular sites and not so great on less popular ones. Netflix is great, kayo is terrible. Outside peak everything is perfect.

      As I said though, this has been a week out of the last 3 years, I'll give them time to sort it.

      • ImTheMaddest on 11/05/2022 - 17:46

        Same for me in noble park vic. Seems they flag speedtest.com for higher bandwidth too. I was on 250/25 and barely measured 100 down on other speed test sites.

    • huuuuugo on 11/05/2022 - 19:15

      Ping around 10-30ms for me from Wollstonecraft (North Sydney). Packet loss in the evenings happens, and one in twenty evenings the ping is so irregular that you can not play anything realtime. 95% of the time it's consistent and good though.

    • jtlaus on 11/05/2022 - 19:38

      Literally just left mate because of the unusable internet during the evening. Was amazing on 250/25 until the last few weeks where I can barely get 5mbps.

      I reported the issue since some friends also with mate were and still are having the same problems. They told me there was no issue and nothing has been reported.

        Tried to check out upload speed on your site, can't find. After "chatting" with your AI, can't use the site anymore. If you are not capable of a setting up a working Internet site, I guess you are no good in solving technical issue either. Thanks for OZB to not let me make a mistake.

        • jmytch on 13/05/2022 - 14:01

          If you can't use the site anymore, don't forget AdBlocker could also be the culprit as it is very common for AdBlock that blocks live chat when we need them and some other weird thing they block.

          Btw I visited MATE site, I have no problem browsing through the site? I'm on Brave browser, and also did check on my Macbook, still no issue so I dunno what you're on about beside that. Extension and AdBlock you may want to disable one thing at a time and find it what is causing the block on the site from loading or so. Have a good day

          • cameldownunder on 14/05/2022 - 17:44

        If you signed up online Telstra would automatically include the modem. So if you left before 24 months you would have to pay a certain percentage of it. It was basically a trick to to get people to sign up with unseen stipulations.

    • Associatedrfc850 @ Mate Communicate on 11/05/2022 - 16:57

      It's very easy as this is a service transfer. Just need to ensure your modem is compatible and not locked (unfortunately, Optus modems don't work as they don't allow you to change the PPPoE details).

    How do they compare with AussieBB? I've been using them for 2 years with very good costumer service. But double the speed of my current plan paying the same is quite compelling.

    • Charlie Dont Surf on 11/05/2022 - 18:12

      Same question here, although I was eyeing a cheaper monthly spend. Cost of living pressures, declining sharemarket etc. A man's gotta eat.

      • thespectra on 11/05/2022 - 18:31

        Well. Some comments below were not very reassuring… ABB has a rock solid service, although I don't know if that is a feature of the NBN connection rather than ABB.

      I’ve been with Mate several years but can’t really comment on the customer service except when I moved house (which was super straight forward).

    • Freezies on 11/05/2022 - 22:34
      +4

      Joined them barely a week and a half ago and had nothing but drama. Took them 5 days to churn for some reason and that was only after I chased them up. Gave me some excuse about complications despite churning from another vocus carrier but wouldn't give any specifics. It was immediately connected after my call so more a case of hadn't bothered yet. Instantly my speeds dropped to barely above 30Mbps and around 5-10Mbps during peak. Something I had never experienced with my previous vocus ISP or any for that matter. Also had an unstable line sync.

      Their "award winning" service consisted of mostly cut and paste emails, not return phone calls, claiming none of the issues were from their side with a complete lack of interest other than giving me the hard sell on purchasing a modem from them for $165. The NBN themselves had fixed all network boundary points and home lines just last year and my modem is perfectly fine (also tested with other modems) but they were disinterested and blamed everything but themselves even saying it's the 2.4Ghz wifi (despite being connected via ethernet) and my smart TV.

      They were also unable to port my number which is something I have never encountered before. They blamed the phone provider for that.

      I switched providers and was churned in an hour. Speeds were instantly back to normal and my mobile was ported in under 5 minutes. Not sure what happened as Mate do have decent reviews so it was very disappointing. Long story short, my internet was fine before and after them. Only changed to bundle my mobile for less and I'm still currently trying to get my money back for that phone plan they never provided. My experience with them was absolutely horrible but again, it seems to be hit and miss.

      I had the same experience.

      All for giving them a go but be prepared to churn away quick.

      ISPs seem to be one of those thing you can't cheap out on and mate is cheap.

        Hi OP, I like the look of this deal thanks but am concerned by some customers who’ve negged and their real world experience.

        What concerns me more is that you’re associated but seem to have made no attempt to address some very valid concerns from days ago especially on a public forum like OB. What would that mean for us if we became customers.

        Keen to join but would love a company response to some of the negs especially Freezies above.

        Thanks

    Had a terrible experience with mate, my speed would drop to 6mbps during peak times, ended up canceling after 3 days.
