We have reviews and ratings from 10 verified customers of DirectSave broadband.

We surveyed new customers 60 to 120 days after switching to DirectSave - here's what they told us:

  • Unfortunately my switch was very delayed. The router they sent was faulty and had to be returned and I was stuck without internet for over a week. The connection is not good, and overall it's not worth it for the small saving on monthly outgoings.

    Overall Satisfaction: 2/10

  • Switch was easy. The speed is good, though the wifi is quite unreliable. Overall it's fine.

    Overall Satisfaction: 6/10

  • The switch between my old provider and the new one went well, very pleased about smooth switch. Speed is okay. Good service so far and I'm very happy about my choice.

    Overall Satisfaction: 7/10
