About DirectSave broadband & alternative deals

Everything you need to know about DirectSave broadband

Direct Save Telecom is a UK broadband and home phone provider offering a range of residential telecommunications services.

Its broadband options include full-fibre connections alongside services using older copper-based infrastructure where those remain available.

DirectSave isn’t currently included in the broadband deals displayed on BroadbandDeals.co.uk, but you can use the comparison table above to explore packages from participating providers.

What types of broadband does DirectSave offer?

Full-fibre broadband

DirectSave offers FTTP broadband in areas served by compatible full-fibre infrastructure.

Full fibre uses fibre-optic cables directly to the property, providing greater capacity and potentially faster speeds than traditional copper-based connections.

The packages available depend on the network serving your address.

Part-fibre broadband

DirectSave also offers part-fibre services where supported.

These connections use fibre to the local cabinet and existing copper infrastructure for the final connection to the home.

Speeds are generally lower than FTTP and can vary depending on local network conditions.

Older broadband connections

Some older broadband technologies may remain available at certain properties, although the UK is progressively moving away from traditional copper-based telephone infrastructure.

If you’re currently using an older connection, it’s worth checking whether full fibre is now available.

DirectSave broadband and home phone services

Home phone services are a notable part of DirectSave’s offering.

The provider advertises different calling arrangements, including pay-as-you-go and inclusive calling options.

If you regularly use a home phone, compare the cost of any calling package against the likely cost of paying for individual calls.

Customers should also check how their telephone service will be delivered, particularly as traditional analogue phone connections are being replaced by digital alternatives.

How much does DirectSave broadband cost?

DirectSave’s prices depend on the connection type, contract length, calling package and any additional services selected.

When comparing prices, check whether equipment delivery, activation, installation and calling charges are included.

Look carefully at the total cost over the minimum contract period, rather than just the advertised monthly price.

DirectSave packages aren’t currently included in our comparison results, so you’ll need to check the provider’s own website for its latest offers and terms.

Is DirectSave broadband any good?

DirectSave offers a combination of broadband and home phone services that may appeal to customers looking for a straightforward telecommunications package.

Its suitability depends on the broadband technology available at your property, the total price and the support and features you require.
