You need to select a Usage Profile which best describes how much you think you will download from the Internet. If you are unsure, you should probably select "Home Light" or "Home Medium". It may be worth discussing this with other members of your household as some activity (e.g. downloading movies online) can increase the usage significantly. This setting will NOT affect the pricing for 'unlimited' packages.

Migration Support |
Inbound and Outbound
Migration is the process of moving a broadband service from one ISP to another, usually minimising the amount of disruption in the process. Inbound migration means your ISP will allow you to transfer to their service from another ISP. Outbound migration means you can transfer from their service to another ISP. If your ISP doesn't support migration, you would need to cancel your broadband service, wait until it's removed from your line and then re-order with another ISP. This may cost most and will result in a longer period of no connectivity.
We recommend you choose an ISP which support both inbound and outbound migration. |

I have been with Direct save for some years now. The broadband and phone service has been very good and any issues with the connection when reported have been corrected very quickly, within the hour. (two occasions only)
Unfortunately customer service, billing and the sales people often fail to address the issues asked of them. They come across to me as a typical double glazing setup of years gone by. Promise the earth but fail to deliver.
If you can get through the sales hurdle and be prepared for the odd wrong billing episode then Direct Save is not a bad service. After all at the end of the day most people want a reliable service that works whenever you want to use the internet and Direct save has done that for me.
