How do I log a fault for my internet service?

Having trouble with your internet? We’re here to help. Before you log a fault, you can now run a few quick checks in the myMATE app or the self-care portal to help pinpoint what might be causing slow speeds, dropouts or no connection.

💡 Tip: Before reporting a fault, try running a service test in the myMATE app or self-care portal. It can help identify whether the issue is with your connection, speed or equipment.

If the issue still isn’t sorted, you can log a fault through the myMATE app or self-care portal.

You can download our myMATE app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android) using the links below:
