    @OriginBroadband From Ofcom. “Solar flares interfere with communications” I see that Ofcom have given you another perfect excuse (for poor service)to give to your weary suffering customers. At anytime of the year.

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

    @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)). This will prevent them from taking money from your account when they have one of their frequent computer glitches.

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

    @RealKiro @_fadgie_ @OriginBroadband Expecting people to pay extra to make the service work properly ... Absolute charlatans ...

  • OriginBroadban1 OriginBroadbandComplaints (@OriginBroadban1) reported

    @PerBetts @OriginBroadband dont forget as well you pay 2 months ahead for your service so the likliehood is they owe you money

  • fazal1984 fazalm (@fazal1984) reported

    @OriginBroadband hi team, internet dying on me all afternoon. This has been going on for a few days specially during the noon time. Please help !

  • Connor_Bull Connor Bull (@Connor_Bull) reported

    @OriginBroadband your broadband is ******* shite. A brick could provide better service

  • davidjbodman David Bodman (@davidjbodman) reported

    @OriginBroadband It still didn't make the price increase legitimate, and you haven't actually refuted that! Neither have you refuted that existing customers are now paying for cheaper deals for new customers. These practises should attract the attention of @ofcom and @BBCWatchdog. Very poor.

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

    @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 is your internet down?

  • DerekWe51929279 Derek Weeks (@DerekWe51929279) reported

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

  • DerekWe51929279 Derek Weeks (@DerekWe51929279) reported

    @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.

    @OriginBroadband @Ofcom 2/2 I need a refund and origin to stop harassing me for a service they never have provided and still dont provide

  • Johnell63593211 John ellis (@Johnell63593211) reported

    @OriginBroadband ......you must be so proud! Even after providing THREE months notice of termination and you still want to bill me for a FOURTH month! A service I haven't used due to moving house. Really poor customer service from a company with a poor attitude! 😡😠🤬

  • organised Shay (@organised) reported from Coventry, England

    Stayed with @OriginBroadband in the new house because they’re great for service and you can take your own modem — would have killed for @virginmedia but alas that area is too rural 😭

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

    @JerryonTwidder @OriginBroadband Switch service providers, or you contact @OriginBroadband, the operative who takes your call sends a request to the NOC team, they send it back refused because the operative didn't fill a simple detail in, they submit it again, it gets refused again, repeat ad infinitum.

    @georgiesucks @virginmedia @OriginBroadband Yeahhh but these guys like to argue or be smart and cocky to customers so its **** either way

  • itsme05864534 itsme (@itsme05864534) reported

    @OriginBroadband would love for my internet to come back online at some points its been down like 2 hours so far

  • DerekWe51929279 Derek Weeks (@DerekWe51929279) reported

    @OriginBroadband You have no idea how I feel. Being scammed is not funny. Origin really out to learn how to practice proper Customer service and deal with issues in a timely and professional manner.

  • DaniSwaffield Dani (@DaniSwaffield) reported

    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 🤬

  • itsme05864534 itsme (@itsme05864534) reported

    @OriginBroadband internet went down like 5 hours ago when you going to fix this issue im unable to work

  • MissTIslam82 Newham Mum Miss T (@MissTIslam82) reported

    @OriginBroadband, @Ofcom 1/2 been paying for a service I never ever received the Internet I paid for, I'm disabled and my kids suffered with no internet, you have no helpline that ever works.

  • ChilliDoor David Jennings (@ChilliDoor) reported

    @OriginBroadband Your direct debit system is faulty, your live chat is broken, no one answers calls and you've removed the option to pay outstanding invoices via your website. How am I meant to fix an issue when I can't get through to anyone?

  • DimmockAlf Alf Dimmock (@DimmockAlf) reported

    @OriginBroadband Internet down again tonight, not good

  • MaverickCS5 Maverick (@MaverickCS5) reported

    @OriginBroadband Hi Origin, Im having problems connecting a Nintendo Switch to the broadband. Connects just fine but when trying to play online, it says NAT type D, wondering how to change this? I believe the router is double NAT'd and requires a static IP. Was not aware of this

  • RealKiro Kiro (@RealKiro) reported

    @OriginBroadband No point, customer service is terrible since I’ve complained multiple times and every time you guys just ask for more money to “upgrade” the internet or ask for hundreds just so I can leave the contract…
