    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.

    Excellent customer service from this supplier. I'm in a slow broadband area mainly due to Openreach's inactivity in rural areas.

    I can only say their customer service is excellent and not to be outdone by any bigger company. Fixed my line in minutes.

    Been with Direct Save for a few years now, price is competitive, speed is fine, we stream movies and I work on my computer. It drops out every now and then but nothing that really effects what we do. All in all I am happy otherwise I would not stay with them.

    My broadband is extremely slow and often 'times out' when trying to download pictures or documents with e-mails. Once I started with Direct Save they seemed to lose interest in solving problems and when I enquired about superfast connection their quotes for both the connection and service were ludicrous.

    Does drop out at times but think it’s the cheap router they provided, other than that really good company been with over a year now and haven’t had many problems compared to other companies in the past

    Excellent value for money! Switched from Sky a few years ago and not repented! Boradband speed is better than Sky but could be improved.

    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 !

    Following unhelpful discussions I still think you should provide explicit reasons why I am not able to return to my previous supplier following your contract with the housing assoc where I now live Plus your phone charges are much higher than my previous supplier.

    Brilliant service, no hassle, no pushing to by extra services like tv or phone packages etc. I use my broadband primarily for gaming and downloads. I get a constant low latency service with uninterrupted game play. The router could be better quality, ie more features etc but I use a buffalo air station for my internal network, so everything runs and streams as needed. 4.5/5.
