I payed them but they still havent installed the broadband. When I called and asked them they just said that the installation had been canceled. They didnt offer me anything in return. They just made me wait even longer for the broadband to be installed.

Haven’t even got my internet yet and all I’ve had is hassle from them. Called up 3 times now and every single time I’ve been told something different. I don’t think anyone in the call centre actually knows what they’re doing. Been a joke from start to finish and now they can’t even give me fiber even though I’m paying for it. Wouldn’t recommend. Dreading to see what comes next , plus the call waiting times are 20 mins+

Absolutely shocking company!!!! It says on their website 24/7 technical support. Rang up this evening and told they have no engineers so will have to wait for a call back in the morning. Supposed to have Fibre Broadband but speed is showing at 0.7!! Not happy at all.

I've used their service for a year & changed the provider the first chance I got. I was initially charged additional £25 due to their mistake while changing the provider. The speed & the connection was bad, so I complained. I was provided with slightly better router which improved the speed slightly, however I was charged £50 for it as they claimed that they never received the original router I returned by post. It would have been much cheaper to go for fibre broadband with other providers. Don't think you'll be saving money, their service was more expensive than any other company I have used in the past.

I have the 35Mb no contract Superfast Fibre service at £42.95 per month. I suffer poor latency speeds, returning results of 700ms, 900ms, 1000ms results. I have to restart the router they sent everytime. They don't do anything to resolve the issue when I complain. Avoid.

Do NOT touch this company with barge-pole. They are NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE! Constantly losing internet connection!APPAULING download speed(as low as 0.5mbs)Hence at peek times? the connection is lost. I have to say, in ALL my years of being on the internet? NEVER,EVER have I had the misfortune of being landed with such a disgraceful service provider as this 1. PLEASE! do yourself a HUGE favour and do NOT have ANYTHING to do with this company.

The broadband continually fails to work. Never works at weekends and rarely works most evenings. It will connect for a short time then it goes down. Better during the day but will definitely not use this company again! Will change my provider as soon as my contract is up. I have called to complain and they have written a ticket but never had a call from the engineer, even though they say I might if there is a problem. Which obviously there is as it is not resolved after 4 months of complaining!

The amount of providers available on the "Open Fibre Networks" (previously Independent Fibre Networks) is limited, and Direct Save is one of the very few options. But the technology is the same for all the FTTH providers on the network, so price plays an important role in the choice. Direct Save is one of those few providers. It is not fancy, on the contrary, but the broadband works just fine, installation was a breeze, and sales and customer service - although hardly ever needed - is very friendly (and UK based). Also, the package includes a landline by default, which other FTTH providers do not without paying extra. Conclusion: no frills, but just what was needed, a stable, reliable, fast and as cheap as possible internet connection. Comes with an older router, but with advanced capabilities such as media server. Would recommend if OFNL servers your building.
