Excellent customer service

Kerry called today in connection with my current contract which is about to end. She was very patient despite a poor reception. She had a good knowledge about the different products and explained how I could benefit. We were disconnected but she left a voicemail and called back. Excellent customer service and I am very satisfied with Direct Save.

Kerry, the voice of reason

Kerry, a kind lady, who is not a gramophone record or speaking clock, did a splendid job of explaining things to me.
She is to be congratulated on speaking intelligible English, rare these days.
And I don't think she was a scam, but if so a jolly good one.

Highly recommend!

Talking to a human person almost immediately! Brilliant! Do not like these AI hurdles now adays! So well done Direct Save!
Snigdha H was particularly helpful and friendly, answering my questions efficiently and making sure I understood what needed to be done - then emailed confirmation of our conversation! Brilliant!
Used Direct Save for my son at university for a year contract! Would definitely recommend! From start to finish it’s been effortless!

I am not sure what went wrong

I am not sure what went wrong. We have not had a phone and internet service since OPENREACH came to the job.
I don't think that the situation is down to anyone individual it is just one of those things that is sent to try us.
I hope that this report gets to someone in OPENREACH.

I spoke to a lovely advisor called Rosemary, who explained the switch from another provider clearly. She was very friendly, and even phoned back to check we were happy with everything.

Broadband issue resolved and cancellation charges removed


I originally left a negative review after experiencing much lower broadband speeds than expected. My package was 900/180 Mbps, but I was only seeing around 90/80 Mbps. I contacted support, became frustrated with the situation, and eventually requested cancellation. I was also informed that an early termination fee would apply.

However, after further investigation, I found that the speed issue was actually caused by my own house wiring and connection setup, not Direct Save Telecom’s service.

Based on their terms and conditions, they were fully entitled to apply the early termination fee after my cancellation request. However, Dan from customer service contacted me and offered to reconnect my service, reinstate my contract, and remove all cancellation charges, which I genuinely appreciated.

I still believe customers should be allowed to change their router SSID and Wi-Fi password, as mentioned in my original review, but I wanted to update my feedback fairly and acknowledge the good customer service and understanding shown in resolving the issue.

Updating my rating to 4 stars.

I have found the service very hands-on and responsive. Despite a small delay in receiving equipment, which was rectified immediately, and delayed connection days were promised to be credited, the call centre staff were knowledgable and gave good instructions over the phone for successful connection.
