I've been with Origin since 2012 as they were the first company in the area to offer me fibre. In the good old days, the router was delivered by a member of staff, and having broken mine recently, I'm happy to see that's still the case when they brought me a free replacement!
Speeds are amazing, they've never slowed me down, and the price is good too. I've chosen to take care of my line rental for the next two years, so it works out at about £8 per month - which is half the price my friends pay for theirs. My little brother was using my connection and seemed really impressed that some websites he uses weren't blocked like our connection at home.
There was a lot written about the old network closure that affected Origin customers, but they always kept me in the loop, reimbursed me when I chose to buy a dongle during the downtime and they've been brilliant since their new network launched back in August/September. They didn't turn into a different company just because they faced a crisis, but I think they were overwhelmed and things suffered. As far as I'm concerned, they're the same company they've always been. In a word, brilliant.
I was really annoyed when I found out BT bought Plus net as I liked that they were local. Now I have a proper alternative to stick with.
