    The worst company I have used. I have submitted the review regarding their poor customer service a month ago. But this company sent me an email to suspend my usage because I haven't paid the bill. I phoned them and asking why my Direct Debit didn't kick in? They said I haven't got one set up....but I have received an email from them on 12th February with my Direct Debit set up and Guarantee. The service is alive in Middle of March. I do not deserve an email with such threat. Very rude. I don't even care they disconnect the service bet the speed is very slow and do not support my area compare to Virgin Media.

    The email is very unpleasant especially it is their own fault.

    Very poor company, the management is very poor. The speed very slow because I set up the account a month before it went live. So didn't realize that do not support our usage. But already out of the cooling period. Please be careful we have to keep this package as well using our old one. I blame myself for being stupid, I don't want others regret it. Please avoid this company.

    Having just switched providers on the suggestion of Uswitch, all I can say is that Uswitch must be on one hell off a backhander. What a load of Garbage, customer service is a pile stinky stuff and they don't know their job very well, not only having cocked things up but then try to blame me for the mistake and can't or wont do something about it. I'm one unhappy new customer roll on 18 months time when I can go else where.

    This company is less than crap was with post office, the service was great, then these cowboys came along. I decided to leave due to be charged double for my bill with no explanation, no explanation of my bill. decided to leave and got to talk talk. they blocked my incoming telephone calls and slowed down my internet speed, all I can say Shell Energy is just scum at the highest level.

    Been with shell for 4 months and for the 2nd time I'm left with no service. 10 days in total now. Customer service is non existent and that's when you can actually get through to someone. I've had to go out and buy a mobile router because no one at shell is interested in sorting the problems out yet I'm still expected to pay my bill on time. Keep away from this company. I'm sorry I switched

    Customer service? What customer service?. endless time on phone, online chat hopeless. I was transferred from post office after years of good service but regret the takeover as Shell is rubbish at customer service... Am now looking for new provider but regret having to lose email address.

    The worst experience I have had the misfortune to have. Shell upgrade my broadband to fibre without informing me. This resulted in my current rooter being incompatible. After 3 hours on the phone a new rooter was dispatched. When it arrived it was exactly the same as the original so not compatible. More complaints and I have yet to receive the correct rooter. Complete incompetence

    We tried to upgrade our speed, but due to a glitch in their system, we lost internet completely. Restoring our connection is going to take just under one week. If you need broadband for remote working, I wouldn't use this provider.

    Also, customer service waiting times are around 90 minutes.

    Also, discounts magically disappear mid-contract, so watch your bills carefully.

    Don't bother with these charlatans. Purchased a broadband package from Shell and was told that I could retain my old phone number. After the service went live they then told me that they couldn't retain it, so now I've lost the number. Also you have to wait half an hour to get through to an operator.

    I was going to leave because I could not get a answer as to what my new monthly charges would be. I then had an online chat with Paige S who promised me she would get sales to call. Magdalena called me this morning and sorted everything putting me on a new contract. I'm glad to give a positive review Thank You both

    Don't waste your money. Their customer service is non existent and they truly don't give a damn. They can't bill correctly and since mid February I don't even have a landline anymore. It just says 'line busy' when you call it. Despite repeat attempts to email them, they don't response. Thankfully I shall be leaving them very shortly. Really, save yourself the grief.

    Router is a post it note - no reach - bought a booster.
    Connection is unstable - constant drops.
    Customer Service is awfull beyond belief! Won't talk to you - don't reply to email equieries even if replying to their customer service ticket. Don't do it!
