Company history

DST stands for Direct Save Telecom, a UK-based telecommunications company which is part of the larger company Utilities UK Ltd. The company provides both broadband services and bargain priced calls to UK landlines. The dual expertise of the company means that it can provide a high quality service in both domains and, consequently, DST encourages customers to use them as a provider for both.

A benefit of switching to DST is that the company is well connected with major telecommunications such as with BT Wholesale which means they’ll be able to save you money on your existing call rates and line rental.

The company provides broadband to both business and domestic customers so DST has a detailed understanding of the market and is able to tailor the packages to customers’ needs. DST’s aim is to provide a dependable and reliable service and the company strives tirelessly to achieve this.
