Excellent service

Excellent service quick response and a call back arranged with Kerry who took me through the options we had looked at in an earlier call. Very friendly and provided a clear and concise explanation of what would happen to transfer my mothers account.

Gabriel

Gabriel was very polite and patient and stayed in touch, even though my poor iPhone signal dropped a few times during our call.
My new Zyxel router asked for my new Password, when it really meant Wireless Key, which he kindly changed for me.
Is it possible to change the SSID? If so, how?
I highly recommend Gabriel as a Tech Support technician.

Kerry was pleasant and helpful

Kerry was very pleasant, very polite, and helped me with the upgrade from copper line to digital. She looked for a personal quote that suited my elderly Aunt, and was able to sign us up for a much improved supply at a slightly reduced price. Great fast response to my subsequent query too!

I have been with DST since 2007...but why...

I have been with DST since 2007, so nearly 20 years. Kerry, who I spoke with today (30.Jul.2026) , was staggered. She was super helpful today and reassured me that my switch to fibre would be as painless as possibile...we all hate change don't we!
Why I have stayed with DST...although they are a smaller broadband company than the main broadband giants, I have always received excellent service, my calls are answered in minutes and the tech team have always resolved any issues by the end of any call made (which are few and far between). I think its important to support smaller companies.

I reccomened you stay away from this scammer company. They told me there is no fee towards fixing my internet which needed a repair/switch but they decided to CHARGE £270 FOR A 3 MINUTE JOB. I was forced to pay and now iam writing this to save someone from signing a contract with them.

Got a call from Kerry regarding upgrades and changes.

Got a call from Kerry. Telling and explaining in detail about the upgrade I will be getting. From installation to payments. Which has gone up higher. But I’ve been with direct save for almost 6+yrs. and never had any major problems. And if I have they have sorted it out really quickly.

Kerry At Direct Save Telecom, Polite & Friendly

Kerry was very polite and friendly and was also very clear in explaining the work on our internet service that would be carried out within the next few weeks. Direct Save Telecom have been an excellent ISP which is why we have been with them for over 6 years now. The few times we've had a problem they have always been there to help with what seems to be a UK based customer care department. I recommend them.

Snigdha H really went above and beyond to ensure that I was getting the product I wanted and clearly spoke through the next steps and what I can expect in terms of timeline and price. Snigdha also went to the extra effort of calling to ensure communication was safely received and the installation process worked under my circumstances. Exceptional manner and customer service care
