They showed a lot of patience as I explained what had happened and what I needed. It was clear they wanted to really understand my situation before offering a solution.

Shocking, ended up charging me a “cash back card fee” after moving house and somehow two months after moving I am still getting bills. They send you one email stating this and just carry on charging you. Just felt a bit sneaky.

Left Origin on 19th May and moved to Talk Talk same day. I know origin have since been taken over by UW and in June they started Billing me for Broadband. Must have been transferred by mistake. All settled up with Origin in May and now pay TalkTalk monthly. Now I’m being bombarded with bills from UW even though I’ve tried to explain my situation to them in phone calls, emails and registered letters. It’s disgusting and very stressful. I’m not a customer and never have been. They said I should take out a customer complaint but I told them I’d never do that as I’m not a customer.

Besides dropping backdated bills of substantial amounts out of the blue, you can never reach someone in their service, your problems are never fixed. I was told on the phone that my account is closed, and now I receive a bill for the address I moved out from 2 weeks ago, and I don't know how many times I let them know in writing and on phone the date I left the premises. They are nothing but nightmare. They never solve issues but keep creating them. Stay as away as possible.

Total disaster connecting broadband They changed my land line number although they many times assured me that they would not do so. It is now six days and I have not got my number and have no broadband. I am now offered an appointment for open reach to come to my houseon Wednesday to get back my number. My question is if they switched my number externally, why do they have to come to my house to rectify it. Plus the number I have now brings loads of wrong numbers at all crazy times.

There is no service. It's been off since last night. I need WiFi! And i need to end this today, because it's not the first time. It has cut out. Origin did better! Pity we had no choice, but I don't need this. I will switch ASAP, and I dare anyone to ask me for more money. How were we pushed onto this company when they have a 1+☆ rating? I'm afraid this will not do for me.

I was with Origin broadband and LEFT mid-July BUT seems Origin failed to implement this and pass all phone calls to its call centre in South Africa, there they refused to understand this despite 21 phone calls, 2 letters and 15 emails and now completely against my will, have moved me to UTILITY WAREHOUSE. At utility warehouse (who acquired Origin) I find the same bunch in South Africa are again the call centre – I am seriously stressed with this. It’s like swimming in treacle with them, lies, switching calls, transferring calls without telling you, long waits, calls going dead, text and emails unsigned and no return address - every time you call you have to start at the beginning and patiently explain all over again and again yet NOBODY there seems to understand, want to understand or take responsibility. Five (5) weeks+ later and still nobody seems to want to do what I want. This call centres performance is in all aspects a truly dreadful way to behave, oh and they are still sending bills.

Refund for switching $370 never received, call handlers just keep fobbing me off , broadband is very weak, overall we are worse off with our combined bills so we be leaving as soon as we can get out of any ties …. Think carefully before using these !!!

Where do I start. I have now lost the will to live. I have a landline that doesn't work, 2 mobiles with no reception and a wifi that keeps dropping. 2 missed appointments by Openreach, followed by lies and excuses. Hours spent trying to speak to someone at UW that knows what they are talking about. Today I waited 20 to be put through only to be told it was the wrong department, then waited another 15 mins to be put through to another person who told me it was the wrong department again and then another 15 min wait to then get cut off before I get to speak to someone else in the wrong department.. I then get a call from someone ringing to find out what happened with the engineer. The non existent engineer who failed to turn up. I have been with UW for 22 yrs. When everything works it's fine, but when it doesn't it is a complete disaster. I am also waiting for Full fibre to be installed and that has turned into a saga as well. So far I have lost 2 days pay plus many hours hanging on the line waiting to speak to a poorly trained person who doesn't have a clue what is going on. The best one was when I asked to speak to a Manager who told me he got paid less than £35 a day, becoz he is in South Africa...lolol I would NEVER recommend this awful company. They claim to care about their customers but they couldn't give a toss.

Zero Star Got my meter reading other way around. Was never helpful to sort it out despite complaints. No tracking of previous discussion.

Signed me up to a phone contract alongside gas and electricity, which I said I didn't want. I called to complain. I looked at my account and phone contract is still there. I called again and they denied I had one. I have cancelled everything with them as they seem sketchy.

Disconnected my broadband in error - then quote up to 10 days to reconnect their error! Call handlers putting phone down when call gets difficult - no rationale as to why they can't just reconect same day as they would do if service just went down! Horrendous customer service and tried to pass me back to Origin who I had been transferred from - avoid at all costs!

They took over from Origin Broadband, hardly a class act but they were ok as longs as nothing changed on ones account. UW had several problems with setting up my install. I give them a pass on that as it wasa. new fibre installation. The big problem is when I got my first bill. I got my bill for 2 months plus an extra DD of £32 taken from my account. When I called them and was eventually able to speak to someone, they had no record of this amount, yet it was take. I had to screen print my bank statement and send it off to prove it. Hopefully that will be credited back. It does not fill me with confidence though. On a positive note, individual customer agents are pleasant and try their best but overall the company has not been great so far.
