If you’re looking for affordable broadband, Origin’s a good place to begin. It specialises in easy to understand, low-cost packages that cater to those who want to keep things simple.
What does Origin Broadband do?
Origin gives you the choice of standard ADSL or fibre optic broadband.
Three packages are available:
- Origin Broadband - gives you unlimited downloads. This is best suited for small households.
- Origin Fibre - gives you unlimited downloads. This is a good choice for families and large households who want to stream video, surf the web, play games and more at the same time.
- Origin Max - gives you unlimited downloads. This is Origin’s fastest package, making it even better for families with lots of web-connected doo-dads, and heavy users who will be downloading a lot.
All Origin Broadband packages include an all-in-one router and free 24 hour UK-based tech support. They’re all available with pay as you go calls, but for a bit extra money you can upgrade to inclusive evening and weekend, international and anytime calls.
