Direct Save Home Broadband Reviews

I am not a tecky and find their staff very friendly and helpful

No complaints with direct save they have always been very obliging and helpful aiming to do there upmost to help out wherever they can

our download speed has recently dropped so that our 2 computers are taking longer to fill the screen

Given our rural area and its slow broadband provision we are happy with the service from DirectSave

Worst company I have dealt with! AVOID!!!

Donot touch direct save no phone for 4 weeks broadband up and down complete robbers

AVOID AVOID AVOID, no response to emails, took 70 minutes to speak to a customer service rep when I was apparently 6th in the queue. Customer Service rep had no idea, obviously has not been provided with appropriate training, tried to quote me me GDPR, shame Information Governance is my job. Have cancelled as no contract, as no response or info from them as to when service will be provided, 13 days after signing up.

Haven't had internet for nearly a week, customer service is terrible, keep telling me the same story, wouldn't recommend it to anyone

Speeds drops a lot, I work from home a fair amount and the speeds I get are a big concern. Several times I have called in to ask why the speeds so slow and theyve always blamed third parties or just said theyre not... Their customer service team are very poor at their roles; limited knowledge and very obnoxious.

This is from far the worst company I have dealt with in my entire life!

I signed up for fibre broadband, completely convinced after being assured by an adviser that in case of ANY issues a technician would be sent to my place. From the day I got the modem, at the end of June, internet only worked for a few hours then abruptly stopped. I haven't been able to get any connection since them.
I immediately called Direct Save and was told that unfortunately nothing could be done on their end and that the company's policy didn't allow them to send any technician in case of issues.

I was in shock, as obviously, I was lied to in order that I signed the contract. I asked that they cancelled it, which was refused first but 2 calls later they finally orally agreed, recognising that I was lied to.
After one month and a half, and a dozen of calls, waiting hours on the phone, Direct Save has eventually cancelled my contract, asking me to pay around £200 !! I refuse to pay it and I am in touch with a lawyer (friend of mine) to take legal measures as they categorically refuse to hear me and don't answer my complain letters.
Avoid them!!! That is my only advice. They are just a bunch of thieves, making false promises in order to steal your money.

Who would accept to pay for a service they don't get??!! Would you recon it is legal?

Absolutely appalling company. No Internet for over three weeks now and no closer to a resolution. Queue times are horrendous to speak to customer service or support. When you do get through there is zero contrition, instead a chippy and conbative attitude. Unbelievable!!!

At first it was fine I told them I wanted invoice to review my bills but sent nothing and was charged I did not realise this as I could not get online they had not registered me on the system when I informed them. Eventually I was able to review my bills but if you do not see them online in time then they are gone, you should be able to review bills you have missed.
I had threatening text messages stating that I had not paid my bill even though it is direct debit. I called customer service and they confirmed it was a mistake it was paid and they apologised it would not happen again but yet again I got another threatening text message for a new bill. I once again called customer service and they said I must of disabled my direct debit which I had not done and they had blocked me from getting internet as they stated I had not paid 2 of my bills. I called my bank and they stated directsave had not taken any money and that's why there was a problem.
I contacted directsave again and informed them and they realised it was their mistake they had not taken payments for the bills. There has been constant incompetency on their part to make sure the bill is paid. They had also taken £9.95 for membership fee that I did not agree to and had to get them to pay me back the money they took out without my permission. I feel this company need to train their customer service and account department on how to manage payments and to make sure to thoroughly check why it has not been paid before threatening customers

Poor technical support for an unreliable service and equipment. APPALLING customer service - chippy ill-mannered call centre staff. Will be moving to another ISP.

No internet for nearly 2 weeks. Constantly being told " update in final stages" How long are final stages? Proverbial P*** up in brewery comes to mind.

Went without internet for 3 weeks, worst customer service, sent 10+ unanswered emails to their customer services email, extremely long wait times when trying to call them: 40 minutes - an hour.

Have been "put on hold" twice and then been hung up on because they have not known the answer to simple questions about my account.

Company does not call you back or update you.

The only plus is that once the engineer was eventually sent out, my internet is working. But it was an pain to get set up, and continues to be a pain after trying to confirm my refund and being hung up on...

only provide broadband no tv
they do not allow you to change provider
as they don't allow access for other providers to check exchange speed
don't inform you when your 12 months are up

my point of view about this is that i was very happy to come to use this broadband speed was very good untill now as its cuts out all the time now i had this before when i was with itaik i just wonder why pay money to this if you can not get online, but direct save says they have change my settings and still no luck if this keeps ongoing much longer i will leave if anyone having the same thing on your broadband what can you do

Bloody useless ....Only had them about a month just got my first bill......Wi fi down and can't make contact ......Paperwork said do not reset ......Biggest regret signing up with them

**** company!!!5 weeksstill no service
Never had to deal with such a bunch of incompetent idiots
Outrageous hold times. ignorant customer service agents

Worst company ever!!! After I paid the first 2 bills and I still don’t have internet at home!! I keep calling them every day and they promise me I will have internet in few hours, then I call them back and and they saying the same thing again and again. The worst part is they don’t let me cancel the contract and go to an other internet provider. In 2 months we have spend over £200 in top ups so we can have internet at home and they don’t even care. The most unprofessional, amateur and useless company ever!!!
