The FTSE-100 oil giant Shell will this week clinch the purchase of the Post Office’s broadband operations, transforming its presence in the UK home communications market.
Sky News understands that Shell was on Sunday close to signing the deal after weeks of talks.
It is expected to cost the energy behemoth in the region of £80m, and will add roughly 500,000 customers to Shell Energy Retail’s existing base.
