    Apparently I can't be connected, after numerous phone calls, going through various stages & log-ins on computer and two routers, I have never received broadband from the start of their service.

    Having been with other broadband companies, I find Direct Save the best; both with cost and service.

    No problem with any of their broadband provision. Initial config was easy, support is excellent, never knowingly experienced contention, can't remember service dropping.

    Not happy with the phone/broadband pricing deal though.

    Good service. Connectivity has been the only problem, which is something that customer service were really good at sorting out. Martin provided 5* customer service when I needed support and since then my broadband has been 100% reliable.

    Unreliable due to construction of house in new development. I think this seems to affect all providers in this neighbourhood.Have to reboot at least twice a day.

    Service, speed and reliability a bargain at the price. Compares very favourably with more expensive deals offering faster speeds and not delivering them!

    Since joining Direct Save on a 100mbps contract I’ve received on average 67mbps hardwired. Wireless is around 15-20mbps. When contacted I was told DirectSave weren’t to blame, there were no faults on the line and it was down to their supplier. Their supplier asked me to jump through hoops to prove that my connection speed was slow.
    It was determined the router is not fast enough to cope with 100mbps. The only way I could get a better router from DirectSave was to upgrade to 300mbps or pay £79.99.
    Wonderful. When my contract is up I’ll be swiftly moving on. The customer service and willingness to help around technical issues is let down greatly by their speeds.

    Excellent budget broadband service, just wish the basic broadband in this country was a little faster at times, however I have no issues watching internet tv services threw it.
