  • OriginBroadban1 OriginBroadbandComplaints (@OriginBroadban1) reported

    Interesting that Lewis @originbroadband tells his guys not to advise the cooling off period starts from the contract agreeing and NOT when the service starts

    Help needed. Anyone have any ideas why I might be getting download speeds of c. 5Mb but Upload speeds around 12? @OriginBroadband @WeAreOpenreach

  • firsthoughtbest firstthoughtbestthought (@firsthoughtbest) reported

    @OriginBroadband could someone help me with an email I recieved today, telling me to pay £125.94 w/in 7 days because my account is closing early. I did not request account closure, my DD is still active. I'm a disabled person with limited resources & I cannot & will not pay.

  • TheOnlyEwan Ewan Darby (@TheOnlyEwan) reported

    @OriginBroadband I have a real problem trying to get through on your automated line with the funny woman that uses too many fs when she speaks, and annunciates in an odd way. The pulse dialing on the 5 mobile phones I've tried doesn't work, neither does it from a landline. Help!

  • gary_rockcliffe Gary 🏆 Rockcliffe 💙 MOT 💛 (@gary_rockcliffe) reported

    @OriginBroadband I do not understand how you guys cannot deliver fibre like every other service provider. It is appalling. We were promised a better service than our previous property.

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

    @charlaayoo @OriginBroadband Do some searching about "Double NAT" and don't let them charge you for a fixed IP to remedy the issue. The reason you have a problem is because of the way they manage their network. You shouldn't have to pay extra to fix that.

  • Leonard41791029 Leonardo Fernandes (@Leonard41791029) reported

    @alderleywizards @OriginBroadban1 @OriginBroadband they trying to do the same to me now,they are proper crooks. worst company I have ever see

  • sing13880151 sing (@sing13880151) reported

    @OriginBroadband I am extremely unhappy with your customer service. I have tried to call and resolve the problem through live chat and I've yet to receive a reply.

  • Robertw94718460 Robert.whittingham (@Robertw94718460) reported

    @OriginBroadband worst ISP ever. Packet loss on PS5 is unbearable. Soo glad i cancelled today and going with sky.

  • DannyBolland Danny 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@DannyBolland) reported

    @OriginBroadband hey I’m having problems ordering, it says my card was declined but when I spoke to my provider they said your payment system might be down

  • AWriteCharley Charley Christopher (@AWriteCharley) reported

    @OriginBroadband broadband is down in Harrogate?

  • gary_rockcliffe Gary 🏆 Rockcliffe 💙 MOT 💛 (@gary_rockcliffe) reported

    @OriginBroadband Leanne, you never told me when I first took out your contract though? Instead you sold me an 80meg plan when I could only get 15meg 😮

  • gary_rockcliffe Gary 🏆 Rockcliffe 💙 MOT 💛 (@gary_rockcliffe) reported

    @OriginBroadband It’s a joke and you never told me when we discussed this at first? Instead it’s in small text in a contract that nobody reads. I do hope your service picks up for me personally because my first 12 months have been horrendous. 😔

  • AnneFord22 Anne Ford (@AnneFord22) reported

    @OriginBroadband Still having problems with internet staying connected. Have to go into settings each time I switch my laptop on to connect. Going into work today so will be able to catch up on anything I’ve missed during teams that I couldn’t join in with.

  • annamouse annamouse (@annamouse) reported

    @OriginBroadband Hi. You've left me without internet for the past 2 months, in the middle of lockdown, because you thought, wrongly, that we owed you £650. Now you've cancelled the account without notice or apology. I'll be seeking compensation for this appalling service.

  • OriginBroadban1 OriginBroadbandComplaints (@OriginBroadban1) reported

    @KerriOhSullivan @OriginBroadband sadly they dont have enough staff to manage any dept. Hope you get your issues sorted

  • guillezc Guillermo Zafra (@guillezc) reported

  • gillian_yeoman Gillian Yeoman (@gillian_yeoman) reported

    @OriginBroadban1 @OriginBroadband Yes of course, numerous times. Charging £340 for no service at all. Not tried to resolve

  • DannyBolland Danny 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@DannyBolland) reported

    @OriginBroadband Never mind it got fraud blocked lol

  • Robertw94718460 Robert.whittingham (@Robertw94718460) reported

    @OriginBroadband i hope anyone with a console does not sign up with this company. Unable to get my NAT from strict and have severe latency. Their customer service do not help with any issues raised.

    @OriginBroadband look no future if you want a service that doesn’t work and customer service who don’t give a ****
