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. read more

Shell Energy’s Failing Business Draws Feeble Interest from Rivals

Shell Energy’s Failing Business Draws Feeble Interest from Rivals

Posted by John Donovan:  May 12, 2023

In a desperate attempt to salvage the sinking ship that is Shell Energy, three of Britain’s largest power providers have reluctantly shown some interest in acquiring the oil giant’s floundering UK retail business, which has been drowning in poor returns for quite some time, according to sources close to the process.

Octopus Energy and Ovo have submitted bids for Shell Energy, but let’s be honest, it’s more like vultures circling their dying prey. British Gas, the retail arm of Centrica, also threw in a half-hearted bid, although it remains uncertain whether they have any genuine interest. read more

Frustrated broadband customers face poor service and rising costs

Frustrated broadband customers face poor service and rising costs

Shane Hickey: Mon 8 May 2023 09.00 BST

theguardian.com

When Annabel Miller* took up the offer of a new superfast broadband plan with local and international calls for £40 a month from Shell Energy, she thought she was on to a good deal.

Within six months, however, she had suffered an 18-day broadband outage due to the wrong router being sent to her London home, a series of incorrect bills for more than she was due to pay, and even problems with her house alarm. When she tried to complain, she says she received confusing and frustrating responses.

“It appears Shell Energy decided to use an initial tactic of not responding to complaints, then dismissing them and closing them,” she says

“I had a number of emails claiming they had been resolved and closed, despite not having received any responses. The strategy was to confuse and distort facts, and ignore my complaints,” she says.

This will have a familiar ring to it. Communications regulator Ofcom announced that the company was the most complained-about broadband and landline provider for the final three months of last year. read more

Absolutely rubbish Shell Energy Broadband. Wifi keeps disconnecting

“Absolutely rubbish. Can’t contact anyone to resolve problems. Wifi keeps disconnecting. Useless.”

Terrible connection and even worse customer service. Router will disconnect almost every 20-30mins and can take 17 mins to load a photograph, or 9 mins to load a Google page, even while sitting next to the router. If you want to cancel, you’ll be transferred to different departments and made to explain why you’re cancelling to every one of them, just for them to pass you to someone else and explain all over again. Even if you ask them to log a complaint, they just email you saying they’ve closed your complaint, without actually speaking to you at all regarding it. If you want to pay for wifi but never actually intend on using it whatsoever, then this is perfect for you. read more

Never experienced such terrible customer service – clearly got no process in place for working effectively with OpenReach, delay after delay, engineers turning up without a clue what they are doing. I’d avoid at all costs as I’ve wasted 2 months trying to get this sorted. When I told them I was cancelling and going to BT because they will likely be better at wrangling OpenReach the operator just said “yeah probably” – even their own people know it’s not good enough. read more

The worst technical service EVER!

Shell energy has the worst technical service and customer service. I have exams and I am without internet for a week!!!

Shell broadband used to be decent

Shell broadband used to be decent. Now it is a pile of rubbish, not worth paying for. Junk.

Stressful shambles

Stressful shambles. I was transferred to Shell Energy broadband from Post Office Broadband and initially it seemed ok. When I had an issue with my connection it was obvious a cable outside needed replacing and an engineer agreed. I was told I wouldn’t be charged but it appeared on my bill. I couldn’t get through on the phone or web chat but emailed and after 3 attempts there was an apology and I was told not to pay. Then another payment demand. Then another apology. Now I’ve just been contacted by a debt collection company. Talk about stressful! read more

Avoid buying this broadband at all cost. Should be banned from comparison sites. I have had the broadband for 3 days, haven’t got it working yet. Rang up to cancel for free in my “14 day cooling off period” to be told this actually ended 2 days ago, the day the line was taken over by Shell. Currently trying to charge me £110 to cancel a service I’ve had for 3 days that hasn’t worked once. Only saving grace has been a couple of people on the phone who have been willing to try to find a way a round this. read more

They offer you 6 months free broadband as an existing energy customer, but it isnt free, they bill you for the first month at least out of your bank account, how on earth is that free? avoid these scammers

Absolutely appalling service. They took over my Post Office account, without my knowledge, and stopped taking any money – then they land me with a HUGE bill. Sorted that in November and I set up a Direct Debit with them expecting them to take monthly…NOPE I contacted them after 3 months to ask why they had not taken it to find they now expected me to pay another HUGE bill, in my reckoning it should have been less than £60, 3 months at £18.99 but they tell me I owed over £370!!! So I ask for an explanation…nope they took it out of my account the same day...I am still waiting for an explanation and will be looking for an alternative provider….steer clear read more

As with the majority of reviews, this company is simply the worst I have ever come across. Two weeks after signing up, my internet failed. After hours of being on the line and being passed from one person to another. Anyhow, after the most inept service I cancelled my direct debit and went to BT. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COST.

Stay clear! I moved over from Virgin Media and had absolute terrible broadband speed from the get go. It was an absolute nightmare to get in touch with support.
First I tried the phone, just to wait ages in a holding loop to then having the line suddenly interrupted when I was finally talking with someone.
Then I tried email and nobody answered for a week. And even then it was a very slow back and forth with them not taking it serious.
Finally reached someone on the phone, just to be told it must be the WiFi router and I should reset it and connect it to another outlet. And after I’ve done that, I had to wait again for hours to talk to someone.
I then tried to cancel as it was an absolute nightmare, and they just outright rejected it. Months later after the communications ombudsman, finally someone came out and fixed it. Speed is now perfect, but too late, because I had to extend Virgin Media as the Shell line wasn’t working. read more
