    My second time with direct serve at different properties and always consistently good service without the need to be tied in to a long term contract which is important as I move around with my work.

    Comments:

    response time in answering calls when phoning customer services is a JOKE. Expect to be left wait anywhere between 15 to 30 minutes listening to naff music. Other than this issue I cannot fault Direct Save.

    Overall excellent. A little slower on top floor of a townhouse but not disruptive. Going into 3rd year now and not looking to change. All good so far

    Great service. Good, cheap broadband. Easy, comprehensive billing each month. Highly recommended compared with some of the much more expensive Internet providers.

    I would avoid this company, very unsatisfactory service and poor customer service skills + their service is always going down/slowing down.

    Cheap provider. Router is of good quality however I live in a 4 bedroom house and reliable service further away from router can be hit or miss. The speed does slow below the 30mps I'm suppose to get especially after 5pm. Customer service was OK when I phoned with a problem it was sorted however I was kept on the phone for half an hour why the person tried to reset my broadband and get me back online.

    Ok in terms of speed.Horrible experience with customer care.Very irritating explaining same thing to again and again to technical support.Barring one expert in technical support ,all others irritated me.Also termination team will go to any length ( on negative side) to keep the customer.One of them even used threatening terms which is not acceptable.Keep increasing their price and not very competitive in terms of pricing with new service providers.Almost went on to complain OfCom about their conduct and handling of the complaint.

    The speed and reliability isn't as good as I had hoped but my area has poor reception and connection. Customer service is great, operators are polite and friendly, and still professional. Any problems or glitches have been dealt with speedily. Would recommend (just need to pick up my flat and move it to a better location)

    Really pleased with Direct Save since moving over. The billing is simple and straight forward and much better value than all the bigger companies. Amazing value.

    Waste of time, its forever going off! I'm sick of it, they left me with no broad band for over a month, no phone for two weeks and I still had to pay for it, wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

    The worst Internet provider I have ever had. Constanly unreliable service, slow Internet speeds (currently 2Mb for a fibre boradband is a freaking joke). Every time I call them it's all fine on their end. Have tried 3 routers already (as they always blame it on my router) and I keep having problems. Since I joined, in 2 years the price has gone up by £10 while the quality of service keeps decresing. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID
