But it\u2019s not just about low prices for our customers \u2013 it\u2019s about delivering excellent service, the fastest internet speeds possible, with the best equipment, providing a quality and reliable service \u2013 all backed up with UK based support.<\/em>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately DST\u2019s bold claims aren&#8217;t entirely accurate and a quick look at our basic Line Rental comparison will show what we mean (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/isp_list\/ISP_List_Line_Rental.php\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>). For example, AAISP only charge \u00a310 per month for line rental and other ISPs also charge less than the DST level.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the monthly line rental on DST&#8217;s broadband bundles is not the same price and remains confusingly listed as \u00a317.75 per month. Similarly we note that only a couple of months ago the pre-paid line rental on those same broadband bundles was just \u00a311.50 and thus the new price of \u00a313.50 represents a sizeable hike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Budget broadband ISP Direct Save Telecom has announced that they&#8217;ve cut 30p off the cost of their monthly line rental, which is now priced at \u00a315.95 per month as standard or the equivalent of \u00a313.50 per month when pre-paid for a year in advance (\u00a3162 in total).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[53],"class_list":["post-11170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-direct-save-telecom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
