    Comments:

    I pay for a fairly basic package which meets all my needs. Being able to speak to a real person in the UK is one of the reasons I've stuck with Direct Save; when I've had problems they've usually been good at sorting them out. Moving house has caused some problems, but this seems pretty general and they've been better than many I've heard about.

    I am reasonably happy with Direct Save Telecom; some small problems which have been sorted with a phone call; very kind and understanding people there. Thanks.

    I've been with Direct Save for about 18 months. The changeover was less stressful than I imagined, I'm saving around 25-30% when compared to my previous supplier, and I got excellent support with the one issue I had when switching. And they respond in reasonable time when I phone them.

    When trying to watch netflix or play online games on ps4, the internet always buffers and chucks us off games etc. We often have to turn the wifi off on our phones if we want to watch netflix without it buffering for long periods, which is not ideal.

    When I first signed up to direct save I called them to discuss cancellation policy should I wish to. The lady who I spoke to was so rude and argumentative and in the background I could hear other staff being exactly the same. Terrible attitude!!! The internet stops working at least a few times a week, I don't bother calling customer services as I don't think I would get very far. The speed of the internet isn't too bad for what we use it for. But I won't be renewing my contract with them!

    I changed to Direct Save from TalkTalk about a year ago after years of dissatisfaction with TalkTalk. i think I chose them via MSE.com They are considerably cheaper for all telephone services, changeover was seamless, which was important as I am selfemployed & rely on broadband. Any queries are dealt with couteously & efficiently by a consultant I can understand. Recommend unreservedly.

    I like Direct Save as their customer service is so good and it feels like I am dealing with real people unlike the more established suppliers who I have tried in the past
