  • karen_g_photo Karen_G_Photo♿️ (@karen_g_photo) reported

    @OriginBroadban1 @OriginBroadband It has been bad for approx 22 months. I can exit in two though if they cannot fix it

  • __getinthebin Will Jones (@__getinthebin) reported

    I’ve been on hold to @OriginBroadband for almost 20 minutes at the time of this tweet and my DSL connection has dropped 6 times in that time alone. Do you just not give a **** about your customers? Do you honestly think this is meets the “high level of service” you brag about?

  • mccali99 mc california (@mccali99) reported

    @OriginBroadband The worst customer service ever!!!

  • middlecrov Hester Rose (@middlecrov) reported

    @nowtvhelp Nope I’m with @OriginBroadband, for my sins. Does your customer service team respond to your customers? Bc if so then baby I’m yours.

  • __getinthebin Will Jones (@__getinthebin) reported

    @OriginBroadband I’m on hold to you for the second time today now. Is anyone going to pick up? The first dude fobbed me off with some nonsense. If you’re going to give first line support techs things to BS customers with, at least make it believable. Also, pro tip: don’t try to BS a techie.

  • Arik809fr Negash Khiar (Ash) (@Arik809fr) reported

    @OriginBroadband, my broadband keeps dropping at 1-3pm, 4-6pm and 12-1.30am, almost everyday. Not sure what to do; no one is responding from the customer service team. I think it’s time to look for another provider.

  • saaaraaaaahh sazz ✌🌞🌻 (@saaaraaaaahh) reported

    Concerning that the Sun "newspaper" has a grasp on the internet issue (affecting thousands) yet @OriginBroadband tell me I do have Internet, they dont think theres a problem and I should just try resetting it...OR wait 24-48 hours for them to confirm I have an issue. Fab.

  • davidjbodman David Bodman (@davidjbodman) reported

    @middlecrov @OriginBroadband Hi, if you do want to leave because of the price hike, they have breached their "Terms of Service" for fixed-term customers (in "Price Changes" section). They are also contravening Ofcom General Condition 9.6. They must give you the option to leave without penalty. Good luck!

  • DimmockAlf Alf Dimmock (@DimmockAlf) reported

    @OriginBroadband network down again, I’m seriously concerned about my decision to join Origin

  • lythamgirl lythamgirl (@lythamgirl) reported

  • Rob9874 Rob (@Rob9874) reported

    @OriginBroadband I live in the US and am getting emails for a UK customer who is late on his bill (probably because they’re coming to me). Please let me know how to get this resolved.

  • lythamgirl lythamgirl (@lythamgirl) reported

    @OriginBroadband I am so upset I’m going to contact the ombudsman and report this as no one after 2 months has helped ..the internet is constantly off my daughter has had to go to her friends on several occasions I just want to cancel all of this ....every day at some point we have had none

  • DerekWe51929279 Derek Weeks (@DerekWe51929279) reported

    @OriginBroadban1 @OriginBroadband I fail to see how Ofcom can allow this cowboy company to carry on scamming customers the way they do. They are a complete mess to deal with.

  • MoiAliEdinburgh Moi Ali (@MoiAliEdinburgh) reported

    @OriginBroadband @RealKiro @OriginBroadband no service yet again. Having to use phone data just to work. Please resolve outage in Edinburgh area

  • BerwynServices Berwyn Business Services Team (@BerwynServices) reported

    Who is @OriginBroadband CEO? I want to make a YOU Tube Video on your Disgusting Shambolic Service. @MartinSLewis If you can workout why £70 a month for an OAP is OK, let me know! @ST_Money AVOID Origin!

  • OriginBroadban1 OriginBroadbandComplaints (@OriginBroadban1) reported

    @DimmockAlf @Ofcom @OriginBroadband faily common occurence and if you move somewhere else you wont have the problems either

  • __getinthebin Will Jones (@__getinthebin) reported

    @OriginBroadband Oh David, I don’t need advanced help, I need a connection that doesn’t drop 6 times in the 20 times I’m on hold to you.

  • lythamgirl lythamgirl (@lythamgirl) reported

  • DerekWe51929279 Derek Weeks (@DerekWe51929279) reported

    @OriginBroadban1 @OriginBroadband You me and many others have suffered the same treatment meted out by this shambolic excuse for a provider. Don’t just cancel dd Ensure your bank fully understands why. They have been known to represent your dd

  • DimmockAlf Alf Dimmock (@DimmockAlf) reported

    @Ofcom @OriginBroadban1 @OriginBroadband I’m a relatively new customer to OriginBroadband, but I’ve had more ‘Not connected’ problems in a few weeks than I had in years with previous supplier.

  • lythamgirl lythamgirl (@lythamgirl) reported

    @georgiaatkins10 @OriginBroadband Mr Bryssau I am extremly disappointed in the product of Origin,so with the lack of support from your C service team,I have been trying to cancel a product (TV) for which was not what I was told it was ... and no one gets back so i can cancel ..ombudsman next /Martin Lewis

  • __getinthebin Will Jones (@__getinthebin) reported

    @chickabiddybex Well, according to @OriginBroadband’s technical support!

  • __getinthebin Will Jones (@__getinthebin) reported

    @louotway @chickabiddybex @OriginBroadband I called their support a second time today. The second guy (who was far more helpful and escalated the complaint) confirmed my suspicion that this was absolute nonsense.

  • JstJamieThings JustJamie? (@JstJamieThings) reported

    @OriginBroadband My internet seems to think I'm in the US despite being in Scotland, and each time I click your "Chat Live" button on the site, nothing happens. Help.

  • steviestigler Steve Steer (@steviestigler) reported

    @OriginBroadband you are the worst,most arrogant,lying,internet provider with a very poor customer service. To the rest of the world.- avoid these guys at your peril!

  • MateuszWojtkow4 Mateusz Wojtkowski (@MateuszWojtkow4) reported

    @OriginBroadband worst broadband provider ever. The customer service they have is something it shouldn’t exist. I lost lots of money because of them and their broadband speed is the worst I’ve ever had... Don’t choose them.

  • __getinthebin Will Jones (@__getinthebin) reported

    @OriginBroadban1 @louotway @OriginBroadband I have, yes. I sent a very eloquent reply which can be TL;DR'd to "Absolutely not". One of their staff called me whilst I was mid meeting and when I asked for a callback for later that day I never got one. Quelle Surprise.

  • AndyPDarvill Andy Darvill (@AndyPDarvill) reported

    @OriginBroadband really...... I’m getting annoyed now.... our internet connection is so sh!t we can’t even stream Netflix!! Origin TV is a scam.... OFCOM here I come as you won’t fix my problems

  • karen_g_photo Karen_G_Photo♿️ (@karen_g_photo) reported

    @OriginBroadband I have no service & am unable to contact you successfully by telephone or web chat. Is there an emergency or a tech issue in Doncaster? Cause I’ve tried landline & mobile phoning & 4G web chat

  • jlmdambrosio Joanna D'Ambrosio (@jlmdambrosio) reported

    @OriginBroadband so I can't watch any of my streaming services because apparently my ISP is in the USA? WTF? Get it sorted. I'm paying for services I can't use thanks to this lot of jokers. Biggest mistake I ever made moving to Origin. Worst ISP i've had by a country mile.
