    Just renewed with them for another year, at the end of previous 21 year contract. Being 80 years old I am not particularly computer literate but they have always sorted my queries with speed, efficiency and politeness. (Haven't rated Broadband speed as I have no idea what it is.)

    Direct Save is a Company you can rely on

    Staff are endlessly helpful, far beyond that one could reasonably expect. Spent half an hour talking me through set-up of TP-Link Relay kit, which just wasn't playing ball, but didn't give up till it worked.

    A couple of times I've had a problem with my router so I've called the tech support people at Direct Save and they have talked me through, step by step, how to fix the problem on both occasions. Very patient, very courteous and left me feeling I had just experienced PROPER customer service. I'd highly recommend Direct Save. Such a relief after years of BT !

    We have been with Direct Save for about 12 months. We've had no problems with Broadband or telephone line and the speed is fab. It's a slightly cheaper than other providers and offers the exact same thing. It was a no brainer for us. We've been selected for an upgrade and the communication on how to do this was seamless.
    As a customer you get access to great offers too!

    I have been with Direct Save for over two years and in that time have only had cause to ring them with queries not complaints. Their charges are reasonable and I have no reason to complain. They provide an excellent service. On the rare occasion I have had to contact them, whichever representative I have spoken to in their Customer Service team has gone out of their way, when necessary, to resolve my query. I can honestly say I consider their Customer Service to be second to none. They have a good choice of packages and it makes no difference whether you are on a basic package or on their most expensive ones for customers who have the latest technological equipment all customers are treated equally. I have no hesitation in recommending Direct Save to anyone who is looking to change their Broadband provider.

    I was connected to 'Direct Save', in April last year and was on-line in about 5-days of ordering the package from the web. Although, everything went fine for about a week, my router kept started dropping the 'DSL' line eventhough my phone was working as promised. I phoned the support line, told them of the problem, and after a short 5-minute wait, the advisor said that the trce revealed that the router was failing and that he would send out a new one. In just 2-days I had the new router. I replaced the old one, and within minutes I was back on-line. I began a ping/speed test and found that the speed had increased to just over 9mb rather than the 3.2mb that I was getting before. As the original estimate was around 7mb for the area. I am totally thrilled with the results thus far and can't really say much, only that the service is 'Top quality'. The best that I ever had from any supplier. My last ISP was 'virginmedia' who, kept increasing their prices. So, all-in-all I've cut my internet bill by ³⅓ or £27.40 and we are very pleased to know that these people are true to their word. Top marks for an outstanding service...

    The best broadband provider we have encountered.
    We were messed about by Virgin when trying to maintain our contract on moving to rented accommodation .
    Had 2.5 months without broad band!!
    Direct save sorted it within 3-5 days, have excellent technical back up when I was unsure with regards a fault and if I’ve had any questions regarding any thing
    I haven’t been sitting on hold endlessly waiting to speak to a parrot who can’t speak English properly.
    I would highly recommend Direct Save down to my positive experience.

    I recently changed provider from Talktalk to Directsave, I got fed up of the continual price rises over the last two years, so looked elswhere and checked reviews and although directsave had some bad ones, so do most of the others, so I'm giving them a chance.
    To start with now Iam now paying £13.45 with Directsave compared with £27.70 for the same service from Talktalk.
    The changeover went very smoothly, router came pre configured just needed to put the wifi password into my laptop.The BB speed (over 8Mb/s) is exactly the same, as is the evening & weekends phone service.
    Overall pleased with the savings and the customer service up to press.
    Like all service providers, there may come a time that I become dissatisfied, as I have on the three previous occasions.
    But I am always willing to give a smaller, less greedy company a chance.

    I've been with DST for over 7 years now and it's been quite some years since I last had a problem. That was when my router expired, but after one phone call or one email - I forget which it was - I had a new one shipped immediately and I received it in 3days. I recall having some minor connection problems when first signing-up with them in 2012, but I always had good service from them and no long waits for the phone to be answered. In comparison my previous and more famous service provider was abjectly awful - so bad that I'm surprised I've never given them a 1 star rating! While I appreciate that some people have had bad problems with DST, based on other reviews here, I've never had any serious problems, plus in the last 3 or 4 years not a single one.

There staff are very friendly and helpful along with there great customer service team. I would also like to commend one member of staff by the name of Rosie who went above and beyond to help me....Thank you DST

    I've been with Direct Save for about 18 months. The changeover was less stressful than I imagined, I'm saving around 25-30% when compared to my previous supplier, and I got excellent support with the one issue I had when switching. And they respond in reasonable time when I phone them.

    A very good value and efficient service. I am very pleased with the way it was installed and with the online billing etc. Customer service has been very good.
