  • Dashdot10 Dashdot (@Dashdot10) reported

    @OriginBroadband I want to cancel my broadband. I cannot get any customer service! Not answering phones or webchat!!! Surely this is illegal ???

  • Geri18 Geri (@Geri18) reported

    @trustpilot just signed up with @OriginBroadband they sent a broken router and cannot tell me if a new box can be sent before the go live date. Its the first time I have used them very disappointed

  • EquinoxPhoenix John Alzayat (@EquinoxPhoenix) reported

    @GameboyLuke @OriginBroadband Time to cancel then, if they can't be asked to provide the service you are paying for they don't deserve your money. Or anyone's money for that matter.

  • Schmell_DeCoffe Wake UP! and smell the Coffee (@Schmell_DeCoffe) reported

    @Meesh590 @OriginBroadband just wait till you cancel and they continue to bill you for 5 months afterwards even though you are with a different company, their ineptitude knows no boundaries.

  • JohnArm54295564 John Armstrong (@JohnArm54295564) reported

    @GameboyLuke @OriginBroadband Yeah heard you talk about it on Pat's stream they are on some **** I'd demand some kinda discount at this point just for their negligence

  • TrickerTheDon TrickerTheDon🖥 (@TrickerTheDon) reported

    Nothing but problems since joining @OriginBroadband looks like so has everybody else from what I see on Twitter and reviews. I’ve had “ DOUBLE - NAT “ since joining your company. Which isn’t suitable for online gaming. Which is all I use it for. Needs fixing. Support is terrible.

  • Kazza_Cookie Karen (@Kazza_Cookie) reported

    @jon_newsome @OriginBroadband Does the Static IP work with this issue?been having this for months

  • Dashdot10 Dashdot (@Dashdot10) reported

    @OriginBroadband I want to cancel my service!!!! This is an awful service. @Ofcom this is criminal!!!!!’ What are you doing as a regulator??? You have been cc’d into many tweets already. They don’t allow you to cancel contracts!!

  • Adamjpritchard Adam Pritchard 🇪🇺🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Adamjpritchard) reported

    @OriginBroadband @OriginBroadban1 I don't know why it drops in and out so much. It's at its worst with the BBC iPlayer for some reason.

  • Kazza_Cookie Karen (@Kazza_Cookie) reported

    @jon_newsome @OriginBroadband I tried that too,made no difference to mine,only started with the Origin broadband when had Sky had no issues

  • Schmell_DeCoffe Wake UP! and smell the Coffee (@Schmell_DeCoffe) reported

    @KennethCarleto6 @GameboyLuke @OriginBroadband Because the people behind the scenes that own and control the company are complete ***** with no interest other than money, don't judge the staff in the same light, they are genuinely trying to help you but are handcuffed by company policy and GREED!

  • thomas_seager Thomas Seager (@thomas_seager) reported

    @OriginBroadband Not happy, your customer service is as slow as your internet speeds – so far waiting over 45 minutes for a reply on your Technical Service live chat. Says replying in under 8 minutes. Running on 0.8mbps. Awful service received so far!

  • tomtoalcomedy Tom Toal (@tomtoalcomedy) reported

    @OriginBroadband can I have an email address to somebody I can make a complaint to.

  • LoganHMPG Logan (@LoganHMPG) reported

    @GameboyLuke @OriginBroadband My ping spikes from 30 to 150+ all night, and my connection cuts out 10+ times a day for over a year. Last week they called me and told me they don't see my problems on their end, and there's nothing they can do. Any ISP with "Broadband" in their name can go **** themselves lmao

  • Geri18 Geri (@Geri18) reported

    @OriginBroadband just signed up with them, and received a broken router, feel very shaky about the service, don't know if they can start on go live date. Massive disruption

  • Chromatic_Blue Chromatic Blue (@Chromatic_Blue) reported

    @cookiekinggame1 @GameboyLuke @OriginBroadband I've heard just as much bad things about Virgin to be fair.

  • elliotjbrown Elliot Brown (@elliotjbrown) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @OriginBroadband Disappointing broadband performance for a while now (months). Chat/Called a couple of times to try and fix the problems. I’ve currently been sat on chat with Tech Support since 09:01 with no resolve and limited responses. I’ve had one response in 45 minutes.

  • paige_114 P a i g e . (@paige_114) reported

    @MartinSLewis I’m with @OriginBroadband pay £28 a month, the speeds are awful and extremely unreliable, customer service is non existent. Been in touch with them so many times in the 3 months I’ve had it and no further forward. Word of warning to others!

  • Devotchka0183 Morag Malchick (@Devotchka0183) reported

    @Lunindi @OriginBroadband Just leave them. Report the poor service and ask them to waive your termination and get another provider. I would encourage you to report them to trading standards too. Then their rep will be more well known.

  • chinscjp Chinthana Siriwardhana (@chinscjp) reported

    @OriginBroadband I dont have service for more than 2 weeks now. No solution but insulting and time wasting and asking £167/- to let me leave even no service. Blood sucking company you are.

  • paige_114 P a i g e . (@paige_114) reported

    @Geri18 @OriginBroadband I’d cancel if you can, there service is awful

  • GeorgeBrownless George Brownless #BLM (@GeorgeBrownless) reported

    @GameboyLuke @OriginBroadband Probably not the best answer but if they aren't playing ball, call them, tell them they've got 12 hours to give a solution or you'll go to Ofcom. BT were being arses for us last year and that terrified them when we played that card.

  • TrickerTheDon TrickerTheDon🖥 (@TrickerTheDon) reported

    @OriginBroadband @Adamjpritchard @OriginBroadban1 It people are having problems. Use your brain 🧠 & MESSAGE THEM! THEY. ARE. THE. CUSTOMER.

  • rahilkn R (@rahilkn) reported

    @OriginBroadband absolutely abysmal service! Only signed up because you were yorkshire based! FAD!

  • Devotchka0183 Morag Malchick (@Devotchka0183) reported

    @topballak @OriginBroadband I asked them to waive my termination fees in light of poor service, which they did. I'd find someone else - Origin have been nothing but trouble. Report them to trading standards too (I have) so their rep gets about.

  • HillsNiamh Niamh Hills (@HillsNiamh) reported from Cranleigh, England

    @MartinSLewis I’m with @OriginBroadband on £17.99 a month for 35mbps on their Superfast Broadband. Have just switched - was previously on standard broadband. Occasionally drops out & had one day in November where service dropped out completely but otherwise ok.

  • Devotchka0183 Morag Malchick (@Devotchka0183) reported

    @Agent47Connor @OriginBroadband I think they just give out a phone number that doesn't work because I had the same issue. Just ask them to waive your termination fees due to poor service and get someone else.

  • cookiekinggame1 Yuumi God (@cookiekinggame1) reported

    @GameboyLuke @OriginBroadband Lol wtf is that ISP, ain't a UK one I'll tell you that! Sky, BT and virgin media are UK isps

  • Devotchka0183 Morag Malchick (@Devotchka0183) reported

    @xblackcatxx13 @OriginBroadband They're just crap. I used Martin Lewis's site and asked them to waive my termination fees because of poor service (which they did) and just get someone else. Good luck with the handover.

  • Schmell_DeCoffe Wake UP! and smell the Coffee (@Schmell_DeCoffe) reported

    @TrickerTheDon @OriginBroadban1 @OriginBroadband before they almost went bust in 2018 they were running a call centre with no more than 20 customer service agents at any one time and 1 sometimes 2 tech guys, they slashed the workforce by half to cut costs. So how many people do you think they have answering the phones now ? ?
