Direct Save Telecom Broadband Customer Service

You can reach Direct Save Telecom’s customer service team on the phone between 8am and 8pm Monday to Friday, and 9am to 5pm at the weekend. There’s also an option to email on their website and receive a response within 24 working hours.

As detailed, the company are not monitored by Ofcom so it’s hard to tell how well they deal with customer complaints. Some customer online review services feature complaints about billing, provision and the conduct of customer service agents.

Overall, proceed with caution when thinking about becoming a Direct Save Customer. Perhaps their no-contract deals appeal to you, but you will pay more for upfront broadband this way.
