I’ve never done a review before but wish I’d believed these 1 star reviews prior. Shell energy has an unreliable internet connection, and I felt like I worked for them and not the other way around as they treated me like dirt, continually trying to find way to get more money out of me 3 months after I had left them.
“I’ve had no reliable connection since I switched provider to Shell. Nearly 2 weeks now…”: “Terrible Intermittent Service. Customer Service is hard to get a hold of – when you do, they are rude.”Comments
Hasn’t worked properly from the get go and it’s hard to contact customer service as they give you the usual “go online and let the chatbots or help options see to your needs” rubbish. How can I go online when my internet isn’t working? Basic logic fault. Whether it’s the router or exchange problems god alone knows as the Qube guy couldn’t fix it.
I’ve had no reliable connection since I switched provider to Shell. Nearly 2 weeks now. I’m disabled and need a decent service to stay connected. I wish I’d stayed with my previous provider now. At least when I had power cuts the router would reconnect automatically. I’m frustrated and disgusted.

They refuse to let you talk to the complaints department and after a month of numerous phone calls they finally promised to send out an engineer. My two housemates and I waited at home for two days and no engineer arrived. We are being charged each month for a service they do not provide.

Demands for bills that have been paid and causing me at 76yrs old much stress. Issue now sorted and can only hope it is not repeated.
17 July 2023I cannot find words to describe how utterly crap Shell Broadband is. In all my years I have never experienced such an appalling service. Every evening it would vanish at midnight when I needed to work. Why? No other provider does this. Constantly dropping out, it is an unreservedly derisory service. If it’s not enough to be screwing the planet and raking in vast profits in a cost-of-living crisis (oh and also still trading gas with Russia), they can’t even operate a half descent broadband service. At your own peril…
They have left me so frustrated and have wasted so much of my time that I do not actually have the energy or the will to detail the extensive list of crimes committed by this company but I did have to write something.New customer. Went live yesterday. No Internet or landline since. Found out after third phone call from my mobile phone that Shell had sent wrong router. 48 hours to get correct one. Not a good start. Don’t understand why phone not working.
Never write reviews but this was the worst customer service I’ve ever encountered, they messed up my order, then I tried to ring eveylry day for a week to sort it out and they were just cutting me off, I finally got through to someone and they said they’d look into it for me, then I get an email saying it was cancelled, I should of only been a couple days without Internet, but I had to change providers now I’m 3 weeks. Avoid

Very unreliable at times. Customer service absolutely terrible. I eventually left for a better provider and had a terrible time trying to get a final bill.
Many phone calls where they had told me I hadn’t returned the router (I had) and several final bills which included charge for non return of router. I asked several times for correct bill and they eventually without warning referred me to collections agency. I called the agency immediately and they had the correct amount which I paid over the telephone immediately. Avoid this company Poor Broadband and extremely poor customer service.
4 July 2023Activation date 27th June – No broadband. No updates, apologies from Shell, no emails, no notifications. I complained on this forum yesterday and requested to speak to a manager. I was told by Sara I would receive a call from the team as soon as possible. Sat in all day yesterday and of course received no calls whatsoever…
I’ve now had to resort to contacting Openreach for updates…
Shell, you are an appalling company of blatant lies, deceit, fobbing off and misinformation. Shame on you.

Absolutely despicable penny pinching company with no morals or customer commitment. PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COSTS. They have the advertising money to bury these comments away from new custermers because if they knew they wouldnt look twice at this company. please dont be fooled by offers and discounts they are only there to reel you in . once you are in then they have you and will drain as much money as they can legally get from you. please please AVOID
28 June 2023Apsolute rubbish the worst internet provide ever, talk talk and now internet much better. Shell internet doesn’t work at all, they give you little to no internet, then charge you for months of internet you’ve not received rubbish company with rubbish customer service!!!!
I am currently sitting on hold, it’s been 40 mins and this is my 3rd attempt to get through. First attempt Shell offered me a call back, I agreed to this. My phone rang twice as I went to answer it cut off. Second time I was on hold for 5 – 7 mins the phone began to ring and I was hung up on. This company clearly does not value its customers. Now for the reason I am trying to contact Shell. I signed up to their broadband with average advertised speed of 67mbps. I knew I would not get those speed where I live, but I knew I should be receiving 32mbps. My internet went live on the 12/06 And I have not received anything over 18mbps. Whilst writing this review I have finally managed to speak to a operator from Shell who is less than interested in helping me. I was told I’ve had looked at other speeds in your area and 16 – 24mbps is the going rate. How is it with my previous provider I could get speeds of 32mbps? The same lines are being used. I will be cancelling my contract with Shell and I will be going back to my previous provider.
21 June 2023I foolishly moved to Shell for my Broadband because they were the cheapest, big mistake. The last 2 days my download speed has been 0.5. Constantly buffering and saying Something went wrong! It is Fast BB but we recently had fibre cables laid. I spoke to 2 customer service chaps who said they weren’t able to offer fibre yet. Querying my speed the maximum is 1.2 which according to Shell is sufficient for my needs as I am a low user!!! Websites take forever to load. As I am out of Contract, I am jumping ship and getting Fibre from another Company.

Absolutely diabolical. Never have I ever had such hassle setting up a service. Shell are undoubtedly the worst Broadband provider the planet has to offer.
The router arrived over a week late, The service which I was informed was live didnt even work when the router did arrive. Upon trying to close my contract before the first bill even came through, they’re attempting to charge me the closing fee of £308 despite the fact that I havent even been able to use the service through no fault of my own. Truly despicable, absolutely useless. If you have the option between Shell and no broadband, youd be better off with no internet.

Complete disgrace. After offering you 6 months ‘free’ broadband, they then decide to charge you and threaten to ruin your credit rating if you dont pay up. Terrible way to treat your now ex loyal energy customers. Of course I will now be switching energy companies. The bunch of scammers wont get anything from me for the ‘free’ broadband. They then called me yesterday and didnt even answer the phone for some random reason. Passive aggressive behaviour. i contacted Ofgem and asked for a deadlock letter from Shell. Don’t let these people push you around.
Dealing with their customer service is something akin to torture with endless recorded messages and options before you end up speaking to a person. They then end up transferring you from one person to another…

If I could give their customer service a negative rating a would.
As a previous post office customer, I decided to upgrade to a full fiber package in early January 2023- I was repeatedly given different installation dates. Finally on the 21 March I was given a confirmed date for the Openreach engineer to arrive. Suffice to say nobody arrived on the agreed date. Subsequently 2 more engineer visits resulted in a line being installed-but still no internet service. As of the 24th of April(more than 3 months) they managed to achieve nothing.

I have been without broadband for a week now. Shell finally sent me a new router on second class service even though I said it was urgent it was sorted. Customer service completely unhelpful. Shame I have to wait 7 months until I can leave them. 5 days since the router was sent and they refuse to contact Royal Mail for an update.

The worst broadband provider, I have ever had the displeasure of being with. I have never had any problems with other providers in my area always a good signal, but shell it’s rubbish can’t wait for my contract to end so I can get some decent broadband

When it works, it’s great. The problem is, the connection seems to drop several times a day. It always comes back up after about 30 seconds, but the unreliability is getting to be quite annoying. I didn’t choose Shell Energy anyway, I was ported over to them by Post Office Broadband, who’s service I never had a problem with. I am definitely going to switch.
