Broadband ISP Direct Save Telecom Joins FullFibre Ltd’s UK Network

Network builder FullFibre Limited, which is deploying a new gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband infrastructure across various parts of England, has added another retail ISP to their platform in the shape of discount provider Direct Save Telecom (they also work with Openreach, OFNL and MS3).

FullFibre Limited, which is being backed by investment firm Basalt, currently plans to extend their FTTP network to cover “at least” 500,000 premises by 2025. The operator is already targeting 80+ towns across parts of 11 different counties (e.g. Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire), but only around 35 of those are active, and their rollout progress remains unclear.

A number of broadband ISPs already sell packages over this network (e.g. iDNET, Octaplus, Merula, BeFibre) and the latest to joined that list is Direct Save Telecom. Residential packages start at £28.95 per month on a 12-month term – including a free install and router – for their 160Mbps symmetric package (£35.95 thereafter), which rises to £47.95 per month for their top 1000Mbps plan (£54.95 thereafter).

Matt Holliman, Operations Manager at DST, said:

“We’re excited to work with Fibre Heroes, a leading provider of high-speed fibre-optic broadband. This collaboration allows us to combine our expertise in affordable and customer-focused broadband and phone services with a state-of-the-art fibre network, and offer our customers a reliable and lightning-fast internet connection.

Together, we are committed to bridging the digital divide and ensuring that everyone has access to the benefits of full fibre connectivity.”
