@OriginBroadband My internet connection speed is constantly running slow or dropping out. I’ve had several problems with this over the last few months. I should be getting at least 30 Mbps but I’m only getting 7/8 Mbps and it says the server is in Dublin? I am based near a London

@OriginBroadband @Ofcom No point in messaging you directly. You don’t respond. How do you expect customers to have any confidence in Origin broadband when almost a third of your customers reviews are either poor or BAD.

@JackTheL4d @abbeylinegold @OriginBroadband P.S. Jack, im not trying to pull you down mate, I don't know how old you are or how much you're used to this stuff but it is a standard thing with services companies.

@AmyBullContent @OriginBroadband If they legit said that to you I’m unsurprised. One of their tech support told me that DSL filters expire after 3-6 months and that changing my DNS servers could affect a ping or trace route result. My secret weapon was being a complete tech nerd

@PerBetts @OriginBroadband After paying be sure to cancel any Direct Debit or Recurring Card Payment that Origin have set up (they usually set the RCP up without asking permission (naughty)).

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

Sometimes I feel like I'm having a bad day, then I remember I don't work for @OriginBroadband's social team. Then I remember I'm a customer.
