“Whatever you do DO NOT go with this service! Non stop issues since getting it. I’ve had to take three days out of my annual leave to wait at home for servicemen who come way outside the time frame or no show. Internet is slow and twice now the internet has stopped working all together: the NBN technician came and trampled on all my plants in the front garden and ran over the front shrubs with his van. Also the hotline there is always +1hr wait with sometimes being on hold for 3 hours. NEVER AGAIN!”

“We signed up for origin initially very helpful however they could not support any speeds as we live in Cornwall We cancelled and they accepted no further charges 4 month later they have taken £207 from our bank They wont return calls or messages and we would like our money refunded so as far as looking after their customers I feel they don’t care We now have to pay bank charges as they have forced us overdrawn. please Origin sort it”

“Have called dozens of times asking them to cancel the phone part of my broadband spoken to multiple people as it hasn’t ever worked since we signed up 7 months ago and they said they would credit our account and cancel it but still have not done that have sent multiple emails and had no help at all Would not recommend them to anyone Power and gas they are fabulous but broadband - they are a joke!”

“I have read the other reviews and so much of their experiences have been mine as well. The "it is a problem with NBN", "NBN will call you today/tomorrow', "your modem is the problem, buy our modem', it is the adaptor/router/line. But no one fixes the problem. I am changing tomorrow. I would change now but it is 10.30pm. Origin is supposed to be phoning me (you know, the 'if you would like us to call you without losing your place in the queue, press 1 and hang up' story). I was tempted by the $10 bundle saving. Had internet for 1 week and now have not had internet for 1 week and am hotspotting my phone which has cost me an extra $100, till now. Try any other company, with free modem. It can't be worse............. Origin - you are more than disappointing. You have failed.”

“Since the migration I can't watch movies etc on youtube on any device. Takes 5 minutes to load a 5 minute video. I will be changing providers tomorrow. I think Origin's new owners are trying to deliberately destroy the company.”

“Terrible customer service. After Origin completed the migration, I experienced an issue with my internet connection. When I called, customer service was unable to resolve the problems. He kept asking the same questions. I was put on several time during the call. Apparently, the customer service representative is not properly trained to perform his duties.”

“After over a year with origin our connection just stopped three days ago, three call later to Origin and I’ve worked out it’s due to them migrating, whatever that means. All I know is they have no idea when I will be re- connected again (but I’m still paying). ‘Migration’ is an absolute stuff up by their management - absolute bunch of clowns. If you rely on your connection for work or study do not go near them, be warned.”

“They connected to the wrong apartment and when I called within an hour, they disconnected my broadband, but it's been 2 months and they haven't refunded me the money! I have had to call 10-20 times and people get angry at me for calling and following up! Each department blames it on another and they refuse to allow me to go to different departments. I am seeking legal action, however if I could given them 0 stars I would! They are a scam! Do not go with them!”

“If I could give NO stars I would. Internet service wasn’t the best at any time but after the migration to a different provider there was NO service at all. Called support numerous times and no idea what they were doing in fact made matters worse as even the intermittent service completely stopped. The most unprofessional person I spoke to, yawned and muffled to himself throughout the call, told me I needed a new router but didn’t offer to order one and just wished me good luck and see what happens!! Absolutely appalling service! Do not sign up with these clowns !!”

“Signing up to this company was a big mistake. The service is inadequate. I wished that I had stayed with Sky. I was looking at cheaper options and thought that this was a good move at the time. The Internet service isn't very good and when I have contacted customer services I have been told on several occasions that a new router will be sent and this could possibly solve my problems. I've given up on making yet another call and being fobbed off. I just have to accept that the company does not deliver and I will soon be out of contract and will return to Sky or Virgin rather than some cowboy tin pot company. Please spare yourself the aggro and avoid this company. I ironically read poor reviews and stupidly ignored them.”

“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 🤢”
