  Wake UP! and smell the Coffee (@Schmell_DeCoffe) reported 8 minutes ago

  @Johnell63593211 @OriginBroadband Be sure you cancel any Direct Debit or Recurring Card Payment they have set up (they usually set up RCP without asking permission (very naughty)). This stops them stealing money from your account months after you have left when they have one of their frequent "computer glitches".

  @OriginBroadband @rotherhamtiser I don't think so. But the bad breeding should definitely be banned. These people be selling sick puppies with genetic problems to people for 15K. I heard a case where 14 pitbulls, all from the same litter attacked people. It was in their genes

  @OriginBroadband: Sorry we messed up, but we credited your account and now the next month is free. Also @originbroadband: You haven't paid last month's bill, so we're going to charge you £10 and limit your service in 7 days. How would you rate your service?

  @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.

  @OriginBroadband So after two years of stealing £25 per month from my 87 year old mother for a service that you never once provided, She has finally cancelled her direct debit and is contract free , Never dealt with a worse company in my life. #unprofessional #thieves

  @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.

  So when you "move house" as a @OriginBroadband customer they treat you as a new customer, give you a new customer reference, leave the old account intact and put you on a new contract. WTF can't they just tie the new supply address to the existing account and contract?

  @OriginBroadband I will continue to exercise my right to comment on the abysmal way you treat customers who have issues with your company.
