Direct Save Home Broadband Reviews

I have over 10 years experience of Direct Save Telecom. They always solve the problems we get in a rural area where we are lucky to get more than 2mbs.Their technicians are patient and easy to understand. I wonder if some of the rude reviews are the result of the manner in which some customers address the staff?

I have been with direct save phone and broadband, for 3 yrs, I have not had a lot of reason to contact them, but resonantly I had a problem with modem,(I did not know this at the time of phoning)I can not fault the service given, fast and efficient. Best I have ever had from any supplier's in the past, and I am in my 60s.

Be very careful with these people.
I went thinking it was the cheapest only to find I can have Fiber broadband chaper! At 10+ times the speed.
When the hit and miss internet service fails - you can not get a response from them.
Then when they roll you over onto a new contract they add charges for additions (evening and w/end calls) you did not ask for and then when you terminate with them they charge you for Administration fees! of £19.50. Very Poor. Will not ever use again.

Poor customer service staff speak to you like crap over the phone could not use broadband for a month as i had a fault on my line and they kept putting it off to get it fixed no compensation or nothing ask to speak to a supervisor but according to the agents there wasnt a supervisor on the floor and hat to wait for a call back 2 weeks go by no call back then rang back up and same all over again

CS advisors do not announce there name when taking a call. for older folk or people who struggle with internet its ok. im in my first day still so wont say bout speeds as fluctuate normally first week. biggest failings are the lack of proper router with all the login info to keep your new router secure. its like they only want you to use there router on defaults no change to passwords as no clear info to change it as we are advised by any and everyother provider they advise you first thing to do is change the default passwords not this one tho another talk talk wanting to get hacked or even sell your info then blame it on lack of security. a joke and glad i can cancel without fees. super polite etc but cant trust a company that witholds vital details that every other provider gives you as a point .

Extremely bad customer service. I received a faulty power socket adapter so couldn't connect and only 2 weeks later I found out that this was the problem. They sent me a new adapter but wouldn't refund me for the line costs of the first 2 weeks.

To be honest direct save are really good there speed is good not best but all day everyday no cuts or slow downs. They been so helpful customer service. Upset me seeing people not giving them credit. More company like this needs our support. Thanks direct save

price went up as contract was finished so I left. Been charged for leaving less than 28 days of notice given to D.S. Broadband hit and miss.

Recently left due to very poor broadband service only to be given a £19.50 administration charge. My advice is don't go there.

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.)

My best advise to anyone is choose another provider!!!Deception,false information,account errors and ..i cant emphasise this enough, an appalling,terrible,misleading and time consuming customer service (If your lucky enough to get through to them).If i could leave a negative reading -1000000 i would !!

Absolutely outstanding service I have been Directsave for a 8 years and the service from them is flawless.

Do not go anywhere near. They lie steal and rob you at every opportunity. I have been overcharged given false information and even been entered into another contract that I no anything about. Talking to Trading Standards on how to deal with it all

I am trying to get hold of someone to find out how to change my password, I have now been trying for two days ! No info on website. There is no email address at all, and phoning just gets message "lots of calls waiting", hopeless. I have had enough.

Omg this is my big big mistake in my life !! I'm wtch direct save just for 3 weeks and all ready had lots problems my internet was stop working for 5 days before my internet was dropt all the time, but when I spoke witch customer service this staf was so rude and nasty I'm not English and this people was racist and ignorant to me .direct save was send me new router but again my internet dropt all the time and from yesterday till now I never had any internet .when I was spoke with customers service this was the worst experience in my life every one was so rude and said if I wanna cancel contract I need pay cancelation fee but I just don't understand I'm witch direct save just 26 days and all ready had lots problem when this is not my fold but direct save fold why I need pay fee if direct save cant do job propely. can any one can help me and tell me what I need to do because I really after rud and racist customer serive I don't wanna stay witch direct save but I don't wanna pay any fee because I don't feel if this is my fold this internet is nit woking all the time .

Just had a letter from Direct Save as I am leaving them on 6 April and said that they have calculate that you have 18 months left on your contract and we estimate that your termination fee to be £270.00. So I phoned them and said I was not in contract as it ended last month so have now put it in the hands of Ofcom. As after the contract ended it should be on a month basis. I would never go back to them as had trouble with them from the start as had to phone to see where the modem was and it was late being set up then the modem did not connect to the internet and found out the modem was not set up right and found that out on Monday and the broadband was meant to go on Friday

Customer service is poor just joined direct save had no invoice or nothing to say i have to put 25 pound after a couple of weeks of joining and i rang and have not been told nothing about this no letter or email so disconnected me customer agents start arguing with me over the phone if i dont pay this now we will cancel your contract and send you to debt collectors as a new customer i am discussed in the service im receiving

They steal from you even after your contract is over…

I used Direct Save back in my old property as at the time, it was the only provider that did a monthly rolling contract which suited the house share situation I was in. At the time of signing up, they told me over the phone that I can either send a letter to cancel the contract or just cancel my direct debit. All sounds great at this point, but straight away things go downhill. I receive the box thinking I'm pretty much set to go, but there was about a week of them faffing about on their end until we eventually got connection, even then it was slow speeds and decided to stop working several times a week for over two years (please note that the customer service has always been awful and I have never been satisfied after calling them).

At the end of my tenancy, I cancel my direct debit as originally advised thinking I have cancelled my contract (as they told me it would). About a month later I receive a phone call saying that I owe them money, which at this point I tell them that I cancelled my direct debit as instructed, and they didn't say anything more about it.

Over a year after that incident and hearing absolutely nothing from Direct Save (despite the fact that they have my telephone number), I receive a phone call from a 3rd party debt collection firm demanding that I pay them money to Direct Save. Unwillingly I paid the fine but am now trying to get a refund as I feel as though I was wrongly accused and am paying for their own mistakes.

Avoid this provider at all costs, you're better off having no internet than the crappy internet and worst possible service that they provide. They have caused much headaches for me over the past few years and I'm surprised they're still allowed to operate.

Was with them for a long time - customer service was dire, VERY VERY expensive, broadband. Rubbish rubbish company

This company is a farce, they are inept in every manner and provide a diabolical service. They have cut off a disabled vulnerable person who needs the phone line for her care call and emergency care line due to being extremely vulnerable and even after three calls and them saying it is our fault you should not have been cut off, but there is nothing more we can do! Reconnect instantly would be what you ethically should do! They are putting my mothers life at risk and has caused us stress, upset and worry not just to her daughter but her as well she has been so stressed, upset and is worrying, how can a company be allowed to run in this manner, disgusting, despicable and deplorable they can get away with it! AVOID them as they are cold money grabbers who have no care or compassion for their customers!!!!!!!! Horrid company
