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

    @SilviaGuddei @OriginBroadband Best thing would be to say you don't want it reconnecting, then jump to a new provider. They are currently trying to provision a new line/service which you are not contractually bound by. Your contract is with the original service that was cancelled, or cut off due to non payment

  • Chutzpah84 Robert W (@Chutzpah84) reported

    Was considering @OriginBroadband as part of my 'ditch @talktalk' but their sales rep refused to answer a simple question about which wholesale provider they use. @zeninternet maybe then? At least I'll know they use BTW at my exchange and the customer service should be solid

  • 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.

  • hearsumvicky vicky (@hearsumvicky) reported

    @OriginBroadband your Internet is a joke been with you for years and I have nothing but problems everyday my Internet goes and for quite some time too! In the middle 9f me working!! Not good! Roll on April when I will be going elsewhere! #poorinternetprovider

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

    @MisterBloggs @OriginBroadband Make sure you keep copies of all web chats, twitter feeds etc. It is not unknown for the customer to cancel install and they just go ahead and slam your line anyway and say you never cancelled, also recorded phone calls go missing as often as their infamous refund cheques!

  • dangrenfell ᴰᴶ (@dangrenfell) reported

    @lmgrenfell I’m so sorry to hear that, I thought you’d managed to cancel? They are @OriginBroadband on Twitter and might respond here?

  • boxmouse27 bmouse (@boxmouse27) reported

    @OriginBroadband Hi I have replied - please sort this issue ASAP as my husband has been messaging since Thursday evening and nothing has been rectified - I will be going to OFCOM if this isn’t resolved today

  • boxmouse27 bmouse (@boxmouse27) reported

    @OriginBroadband we have had no WiFi since Thursday - still waiting for an engineer and no comms from you privately - we need to work tomorrow, how are you going to fix this ASAP?

  • MoiAliEdinburgh Moi Ali (@MoiAliEdinburgh) reported

    @OriginBroadband I cancelled my order due to poor service and poor connectivity. Now you claim to have no record that I cancelled. Been online for nearly an hour but getting nowhere. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Utterly useless in every way.

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

    @danielnelson89 @OriginBroadband they haven't won an award since 2017, although many would argue they should have won "Worst UK Broadband Provider" for the last few years.
