Customer Reviews
I have been with DST since 2007 and have had a very reliable service with just one outage, due to a fire at a London exchange.
My speed was 5.7 meg at its highest and I am now getting a steady 3.4 meg. The lower speeds are more to do with my BT line and exchange than anything to do with DST.
Always a very polite and fast response ro calls.

DST are best avoided. I signed up in 2007 and was initially pleased with their efforts to improve my broadband speed although they never got it better than about half a meg without the line dropping out constantly, but at least they tried and customer services were reactive. When the line went down completely last winter it took weeks to fix with dreadful service levels in response to the problem and now I'm struggling to get anyone at their end to recognise that the fact that I gave notice to cancel service means that I shouldn't have to pay a charge for cancelling without notice.

Dreadful company. With them 4 years and they were initially ok but has gone down in terms of pretty much anything you'd want to judge a provider on.

Additional usage available at 95p per gigabyte. Up to 24Mbps speeds only available in areas where BT has installed ADSL2+ technology in the exchange, up to 8Mb speeds will be available elsewhere. Actual speed achieved depends on factors such as cable distance from the telephone exchange.
