  .@OriginBroadband are staffed with quite possibly the worst people I’ve ever come across. Almost every message received from them was obtuse, provoking, repetitive and irrelevant, leading to a money claim and many crossed words. Worst service I’ve had from a company I’m not with.

  @OriginBroadband Can someone tell me why my internet speed has nearly halved? Why it doesnt work upstairs? And why my IP address thinks im in Basingstoke when im at the opposite end of the country?

  This is how good @OriginBroadband are at customer service: several times (including over the phone) I have asked them to stop sending me bills for £0.00. This company not only has a useless IT system that sends out such stupid emails but poorly trained staff who take no notice.

  @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.

  @OriginBroadband This offer has now been withdrawn along with any previous offers made.   What happens next?   We have closed your complaint and you will be issued with an ADR letter electronically by email in the next 14 days, which will confirm this and can be used as evidence

  If you ever think about signing up to @OriginBroadband don't. They have completely taken advantage of 2 vulnerable people in their 70's, refuse to let them cancel despite an awful service. Waiting for my complaint to be answered since Feb. Now cut their services off. Awful 🤬

  @chrislvkiz @OriginBroadband now that TalkTalk have absorbed @OriginBroadband, you should be able to request that your service be migrated OFF of OB's terrible hardware and insistence on using DOUBLE NAT (this is what is causing your issue), and onto a TALKTALK line where it should fix your problem.
