AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!
My broadband has been awful for months. My devices buffer constantly. I reported this to Origin, they advised there was a network fault. One minute I was told I needed to make an appointment for Open Reach to attend, when I did this, I was told it's external and I don't need to be home. No word of a lie, less than an hour later, an Open Reach engineer arrived, surprise surprise, he needed access inside my house, good job I was home!!! He was here for 5 hours, in the end he changed a line, taking a chunk out of the front of my house. He left assuring me the fault had been resolved. That evening, my broadband was worse than ever, I again contacted Origin to be told that there is another issue, which I was not informed about in the first instance, so there was in fact two faults. This has yet to be resolved. I have been waiting over a month now for the service I am paying for. The staff are rude when you contact them for updates. I have been told "it will be resolved as soon as possible, it could be hours, days or weeks, I don't know". Wow, that's brilliant customer service. I also reported the damage to my property, to be told I had to contact Open Reach myself to complain... ummm no, I am Origins customer, not Open Reaches customer. You have instructed them to attend and do the work, you therefore are responsible for dealing with this complaint.
I am currently working from home, with great difficulty. Origin do not seem bothered in the slightest. My contract doesn't officially end until June 2021. However I have now contacted another provider to leave this shambles of a company ASAP. And I will be taking this down the breach of contract route as I have continued to pay my bill each month despite receiving awful service.
Goodbye Origin!!! See you in court!!!
