TalkTalk closes Origin Broadband; customers switch to Utility Warehouse

Origin Broadband, a subsidiary of TalkTalk, will cease operations on June 1, forcing 70,000 customers to switch providers. This closure marks a significant shift in the UK's broadband market. Customers will be transferred to Utility Warehouse (UW), which already utilizes TalkTalk's network. The transition, starting March 28, will see UW take over broadband and home phone services, with no action required from customers. Origin Broadband, formerly independent, was acquired by TalkTalk in 2021. The future of the Origin brand remains uncertain, but customers' services and bills will remain unchanged during the transition.
