My Origin connection so far

[alexatkin]

I would have expected to be hitting around that burst rate on average and those single-connection results are quite poor, but then I don't Origin have ever been stellar for single-thread downloads.

I wish I could get my Zen line working so I could do a comparison.



I can't tell if this the DLM capping me or not as I cannot get the BTW line test to work. Do you have to wait until after the training period for the advanced test to work and show your line profile etc?

I noticed another thing, Origins new network appear to be none other than Origins old old network, Digital Region Broadband.

An old traceroute from when Origin were just a DRBSY reseller:

That is more than slightly similar and based off their own comments in the past it seems a backwards step to some degree. What happened to Origins own diverse interconnects?

Also, my current sync graph vs how it used to be. NOTE: This is not the same line as my Origin DR connection was which may explain the far lower attainable being reported.

I couldn't trust Origin with my connection now, for me I would think twice about going with a small company now. I fully believe that before long they will sell out or go bust. Not worth the risk.

i wouldn't touch Origin if you paid me now. Granted when it works its fine but when it goes tits up they string you along instead of being honest. This is one of the main reason why you would go with a smaller company as they can provide a more personal service, Origin don't do this.

It appears they are using CGNAT now? Explains why a TAGS check shows them as having an incompatible product.

no they didnt. Origin where left without a paddle.

no other ISP has managed to do any better. there are people who jumped ship and are STILL waiting for plusnet. bt sky etc.

the fault laid because Thales walked away and openreach are a law to themselves.

all i read on here are posts from people complaining. get over it. internet is not food/water you can live without it for a while..
