    Having read some of these reviews I am wondering if they refer to the same company. I have been with these guys for 4 years and still getting a good download speed on a standard non fiber line. I don't use the line for calls only the internet and have been paying the same price with no clever add one or price hikes. Very happy and any technical issues have been quickly sorted. Thank you.

    Try to avoid them! There are thieves
    They charge my bill with 9.95 extra for a membership i never asked. i try to get in touch with them but they put the phone down. i apply to a new provider and after they told me that i have to pay 54 pounds extra because 2 months remaining for contract to finish but they already charge me for that membership without to ask me and 2 months before the free membership finished. of course i will no pay anything and i am ready to take legal action against them. They are just thieves

    I have been with Direct Save Telecom at 3 recent addresses and have found them to be most helpful and resposive to my requirements.I have recommended friends who have also joined them and been very happy. Price and customer service is good Consequently I have no reason to switch!

    I've been with DST for over 7 years now and it's been quite some years since I last had a problem. That was when my router expired, but after one phone call or one email - I forget which it was - I had a new one shipped immediately and I received it in 3days. I recall having some minor connection problems when first signing-up with them in 2012, but I always had good service from them and no long waits for the phone to be answered. In comparison my previous and more famous service provider was abjectly awful - so bad that I'm surprised I've never given them a 1 star rating! While I appreciate that some people have had bad problems with DST, based on other reviews here, I've never had any serious problems, plus in the last 3 or 4 years not a single one.

    Overall not too satisfied the customer services just put the phone down on you when they feel like and don't ring back so you have to que up all over again the customer services isn't the best I had my broadband disconnected for a week and they didn't inform me I had to ring up find out the problem they didn't rush to sort it out. Broadband speed is okay I guess when it works that is. The staff are rude and don't rush to sort anything out for you they over charge you on your bill sometimes too with out telling you. Wouldn't recommend to anyone searching for broadband !!!

    Excellent customer service AND you get to speak to a real person, without having to go through endless menus!
    Broadband speed isn't an issue for me as I do very little online, and to date haven't had any problems that haven't been resolved promptly.
