Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Tunoteee Tunote (@Tunoteee) reported

    @modredcastleton @OriginBroadband You should use this as a reference for an event in the game. When you interact with it it could say, "Someone did a horrible job with this. I could do better blindfolded." You know. As a funny callback for your Twitter followers. Or something.

  • HELENSTATHAM2 HELEN STATHAM 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@HELENSTATHAM2) reported

    @OriginBroadband internet gone crazy last few days. Globe light in router going off then red. Devices say there is WiFi but not connected. Turned off and on, not the solution! Any suggestions?

  • LeightonLewis4 Leighton Pickering / Lewis (@LeightonLewis4) reported

    My Origin Broadband Connection Keep's Going Off, For Long Periods, It's Been Getting Worse Since October 2022, Despite Complaining On Here, Connection Lost From Outside. Please Fix ASAP @OriginBroadband

  • DinR2 Dino ACM 🇮🇹 (@DinR2) reported

    @MaverickCS5 @OriginBroadband Did you ever fix this ? Im having the same problem ! haha

  • CraftyOldGit Mike Wilson 🐟 (@CraftyOldGit) reported

    @editfmah @OriginBroadband Well the problem I was having turns out not to be with Origin. On my iPhone, the SpeedSmart app reports < 5Mbps, the same app on my iPad reports > 35Mbps. Problem lies with phone by the look of it. Mystifying. Will investigate that face plate idea, thanks.

  • CraftyOldGit Mike Wilson 🐟 (@CraftyOldGit) reported

    @editfmah @OriginBroadband Not seeing loads of errors. Download speed currently 4.88Mbps, upload 8.85Mbps which is weird.

  • editfmah Adrian Herridge (@editfmah) reported

    @CraftyOldGit @OriginBroadband No problems. Also, it';s good to know that the filter is very very tolerant of electrical events so when doing the dance with technical support teams, it's hardly ever going to be a filter failure.

  • LeightonLewis4 Leighton Pickering / Lewis (@LeightonLewis4) reported

    Re: Origin Broadband. They sent me a new Router, Yesterday, Guess what ? Still no Signal coming in, They even sent me a letter, Stating, If they get Openreach out, They may charge me, What A Cheek, When I'm entitled to Compensation for loss of service ! @OriginBroadband

  • Rob_Clark Rob Clark (@Rob_Clark) reported

    @OriginBroadband so no 24/7 technical support number any more so have to report issues on twitter - not been able to connect in DE65 line sync looks ok so issue looks further upstream

  • SpeedSmart SpeedTest SpeedSmart (@SpeedSmart) reported

    @ParkerColin @CraftyOldGit @OriginBroadband Lots of speed tests use servers that are hosted by the ISP you are using. So your traffic never leaves there network. This makes the result unrealistic. What server location are you testing from and what speed are you paying for?

  • lizc177 aircraft jambo (@lizc177) reported

    @rbs @OriginBroadband trying to pay my bill getting different messages from you both please help

  • editfmah Adrian Herridge (@editfmah) reported

    @CraftyOldGit @OriginBroadband I have always swapped out my normal faceplate & filter with an NTE5 faceplate and I generally get a far cleaner line. Here I went from 49 -> 58 MBs. I never normally get that good a result, but something about my setup/line must have benefited.

  • MrWayneThompson Wayne Thompson (@MrWayneThompson) reported

    @OriginBroadband is an absolute joke. Customer services are insulting & some workers clearly dont do jobs correctly. I've never had this problem with any other companies as they listen. I take care of all my moms bills due to her age & deafness. She gives consent yet you don't

  • DrHughHarvey Hugh Harvey (@DrHughHarvey) reported

    @oliviasolon Try @OriginBroadband - £29 a month, good service

  • RichardHofman33 Richard Hofman (@RichardHofman33) reported

    @OriginBroadband Hello guys, what is wrong with you the few months or like that? I've been your customer for many years but now I could notice there is no customer support, no live chat and there is nobody taking care of the low speed I've been experiencing for some longer time.

  • _AOTML_ Anonymous Hieronymus (@_AOTML_) reported

    Hey @OriginBroadband is your service down or anything I came home today to find that my internet is completely gone and restarting the router does nothing the dsl light on the box is off Cheers

  • blandlord_1 Blandlord (@blandlord_1) reported

    @OriginBroadband Are you guys still in business? 2 hours on hold chat feature not working

  • GertrudGem Gertrud (@GertrudGem) reported

    @OriginBroadband I noticed 2 direct debits on the same day on 2 occasions. Can somebody please help?

  • TechTonix Mark (@TechTonix) reported

    @OriginBroadband Have @OriginBroadband gone bust? Broadband no longer works, the customer portal doesn't work and no one answers the phone or DMs. It's all looking like time to find a new supplier.

  • brunhofraga Bruño Fraga (@brunhofraga) reported

    @OriginBroadband I have cancelled my account (C0069251) in early October. You stopped sending me bills but did not cancel my direct debit and keep charging me for a service you are not providing.

  • editfmah Adrian Herridge (@editfmah) reported

    @CraftyOldGit @OriginBroadband You can then see if you are getting 1000's of unrecoverable errors causing it to be slow. Or if you are on a really really old ADSL connection (like I was at Longleat), then I kept getting locked into a very low BRAS profile and it would stay at 1-2 MBs for weeks and slowly climb

  • CraftyOldGit Mike Wilson 🐟 (@CraftyOldGit) reported

    As you were @OriginBroadband — problem seems to be with the SpeedSmart app on my iPhone. Crappy Zoom call quality could be someone else’s problem, too.

  • clairenicoleexo Claire'Nicole (@clairenicoleexo) reported

    @OriginBroadband is there problems with the connection? Gone off and not coming back

  • LeightonLewis4 Leighton Pickering / Lewis (@LeightonLewis4) reported

    They sent me a new Router, Yesterday, Guess what ? Still no Signal coming in, As ive always told them They even sent me a letter, Stating, If they get Openreach out, They may charge me, What A Cheek, When I'm entitled to Compensation for loss of service. @OriginBroadband

  • Archana19374096 Archana Pawar (@Archana19374096) reported

    @OriginBroadband I have been with origin for more then 24 months without renewal of contract why is it charging me termination fee, I was been mentioned in terms of job loss they would consider even though here the contract was never made but they are imposing illegal charges

  • McComisky The Privateers (@McComisky) reported

    Fantastic customer service from @OriginBroadband and Martin in Doncaster. Broadband up and running sweetly. Please locate this customer service advisor and thank him from me.

  • editfmah Adrian Herridge (@editfmah) reported

    @CraftyOldGit @OriginBroadband Very. You are definitely looking at a line/sync issue there for sure. If you've had electrical storms recently, potentially quick and easy to just swap out the VSDL filter (if you have a draw full of the old things), see if that allows the noise on the line and the Att. to drop

  • GaiaSophia8 ☮️❤️🧡💛🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈Gaia🦉Sophia🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦💚💙💜☮️ (@GaiaSophia8) reported

    @DrHughHarvey @oliviasolon @OriginBroadband £30 for 67Mbps down...?!😳67Mbp/s is 8.375MB/s down. She's currently paying £37 for ½Gbit (500Mb/s).500Mb/s is 62.5MB/s, ~7.5x FASTER. Why would she want to switch to an ISP offering worse speeds? Didn't realise such pathetic speeds were still being offered.

  • HaleyBe35252380 Haley Bennett (@HaleyBe35252380) reported

    @OriginBroadband Why can't I log into my account or get hold of customer support? I have been trying for weeks! Poor effort. I am Moving home and need to disconnect. Guess I will just cancel the direct debit instead!!!
