Complaints procedure

If a complaint stalls, you can escalate for free

Origin Broadband is a member of the Communications Ombudsman scheme. If Origin does not resolve your complaint within 8 weeks, or if it issues a deadlock letter sooner, you can take the dispute to the Ombudsman free of charge.

  1. 1

    Open a complaint with Origin Broadband

    Call 0330 024 5777 or write to the company's registered address. Always ask for a written complaint reference number, the agent's name and the date.

  2. 2

    Give Origin up to 8 weeks

    Under Ofcom rules, an ISP has up to 8 weeks to resolve a complaint or issue a deadlock letter. Keep written copies of every reply.

  3. 3

    Escalate to the Communications Ombudsman

    If 8 weeks pass with no resolution, or you receive a deadlock letter sooner, you can escalate free of charge to the Communications Ombudsman, the alternative-dispute-resolution scheme Origin Broadband is signed up to.

  4. 4

    Final outcome

    The Ombudsman's decision is binding on the ISP if you accept it. You can still reject it and pursue the matter through the small-claims court, but most disputes end at the Ombudsman stage.

FAQ

Origin Broadband contact questions

What is the main Origin Broadband phone number?

The main Origin Broadband customer-service number is 0330 024 5777. The same number handles residential sales, business sales, faults, billing and complaints through an in-call menu. 0330 numbers are charged at the standard UK landline rate and are usually included in inclusive minutes packages on mobile or landline.

What are Origin Broadband’s opening hours?

Typical Origin opening hours are Monday to Friday 08:00 to 20:00 and Saturday 09:00 to 17:00. Lines are closed on Sundays and bank holidays. Specific teams (billing, complaints) sometimes close earlier than the headline number. Wait times tend to be shortest mid-morning Tuesday to Thursday, and longest on Monday mornings and right after monthly bills go out.

Does Origin have a separate business line?

Yes. Origin’s business arm is reached through the main 0330 024 5777 number, option 2. SME customers are routed to a dedicated business team for broadband, leased-line uplinks, hosted voice and SLA-backed contracts. The residential pricing on this page does not apply to the business range.

How do I make a complaint to Origin Broadband?

Phone 0330 024 5777 and ask to raise a formal complaint, then send a follow-up email or letter so there is a written trail. Always ask for a complaint reference number. If the complaint is not resolved within 8 weeks, or you receive a deadlock letter sooner, you can escalate free of charge to the Communications Ombudsman.

How do I cancel Origin Broadband?

Cancellation must usually be confirmed by phone, not just through the online account portal. Phone 0330 024 5777 and ask to cancel. Confirm: (1) your last day of service, (2) any exit fee, (3) the final bill amount, (4) the cancellation reference number. Send a follow-up email so you have a written record. If you cancel outside the last 30 days of your minimum term, expect to pay the remaining monthly fees on the contract.

Where is Origin Broadband based?

Origin Broadband is headquartered in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, with its customer-service call centre based in the UK. Geographic location of the call centre is one of the recurring positives in customer reviews, particularly compared to ISPs that route support offshore.
