“Had to disconnect them just after moving to their service due to HORROBLE customer support team. I suggest if you need a caring service provider, steer away from Origin NBN as fast as you can!”

“DO NOT USE ORIGIN BROADBAND!!! I have been having multiple dropouts for months now and Origin keep trouble shooting the same way.. we are having to use our own mobile data and pay for Origin Broadbsnd as well. It has been incredibly stressful dealing with Origin and I have lost countless hours on the phone with them. I have paid for a new modem and still experiencing the same issues. They switch between blaming NBN Co and the modem, however it seems to be neither. I have told them I want to put in a complaint, but this falls on deaf ears and they blatantly lie and say they have fixed the issue which they haven’t. I shall be contacting them and lodging a formal complaint and asking who I take it further with on my next call….DO NOT USE ORIGIN!!!!. I would give them 0 stars if I could!!!”

“It almost a week that I switched to origin and and every day experiencing long drop outs and call them and they have no clue what's going on they have booked nbb technician and they said it is nbns fault but guess what it is their fault I got disconnected while working, playing, watching Netflix. If you wanna torture someone and make their lives miserable tell them to get Internet from origin. My point THEY DON'T DESERVE EVEN A ONE STAR REVIEW 🤢”

“Worst customer service ever! I spoke to an origin broadband customer support representative called John (don’t even know if this is his real name coz he hesitated as he gave his name when I asked for his name).. John was absolutely clueless, inefficient, and rude. Origin broadband better ramp up on customer support and service if they wish to retain their client base and even for the organisation to stay afloat in the future!”

“I'd give zero stars if I could. They forced us to pay an extra fee when cancelling our contract when our landlord sold our house. No option to talk common sense to any customer service staff”

“Went with origin, changed from bt as origin promised same service half price. How stupid was I to believe this, origin was awful, WiFi was absolutely rubbish, not a spot on bt, this maybe just my area. I can give a honest comparison as I still ran bt in the annex of house so both used same cable entering property, anyway after many emails, phone calls and no help from them, bt have bought me out of the contract back with bt, everything is awesome again, origin chased me for a final payment of £29 practically impossible to contact to pay 1 month sent to their collection company went up to £42 so paid thus as the collection company make it so easy to pay, had a chat with bt they will reimburse me as part of contract pay off, bt fab origin awful, please think and don't waste your hard earned wages on this diabolical company”

“Failed to connect service when it was requested. Turns out they wait until Australia Post confirms hardware delivery, but that link was broken, so they decided to not activate it. No communication, no SMS, no warning. Then you have to chase them down and they blame it on you. Rude and arrogant. Will now cancel and go elsewhere.”

“Refunds.What a joke.Cost me almost $500 for two weeks off and on connection then lies and more lies. The worst customer service ever.The worst internet service ever. About to leave Origin power also, can only assume the same low level of customer support and service. We seem to not have any rights when with Origin. Isn’t it about time we all get together and make Origin accountable for false statements and lack of service .The whole experience was very stressful and a complete rip-off.”

“COMPLETELY INCOMPETENT save your time and money, go with a reputable company. They connected my internet to the wrong address FIVE TIMES! I wanted so badly to give them the benefit of the doubt but in the end it turns out that they are just incompetent and lazy. Not a single person I spoke to actually seemed to give a sh**. Don’t waste your time.”
