‘Get a grip’ Shell told, as it racks up the most broadband complaints (again)
Extracts from an article by Ellie McDonald published on Sunday 29 Jan 2023 (Page 15)
Shell Energy has been told to “get a grip” after a surge in broadband and landline complaints.
The telecoms regulator Ofcom also said it was monitoring the firm’s performance because its complaints volume remains far higher than its rivals.
Shell Energy, which started providing broadband in 2016, had 27 complaints per 100,000 broadband customers between July and September 2022 and 20 complaints per 100,000 landline customers. It was also the worst in the previous three months, when it received 31 and 23 complaints per 100,000 customers respectively.
Shell Energy Broadband said: “Ofcom’s table reflects our position up to six months ago. Since then we have invested heavily and made big strides in our processes.
We’re confident that these will be reflected when Ofcom releases its results for the current period.”
Extracts end.
In fact, Shell is considering exiting its energy and broadband businesses because of useless management.
