Shell Energy Broadband rip-off
By far the worst, unprofessional so call company provider. As from other reviews, i.e. Internet connection not too clever 1st year when calling up to notifying about their Internet connection, you get charged for this call. However, after my one-year contract, phone calls are now three. After having so much trouble I have decided to get another provider, notice was given. However, after my cancellation, they continue to take payments. I did lodge a complaint and received a reply within the same day, saying that they looked into it and I will be getting a refund. However, no refund 2nd month another payment taken after sending emails and phoning no refund. Another complaint was lodged after speaking to the adviser, asking me to provide evidence that I have no payment. Therefore, I sent my bank statements, in which clearly shows no refund was paid then I received one payment of £18.99.? However, my payment was £19.00 a month. I don’t know where they got that other figure from 2 months on receiving phone call from receptionist I requested to escalate my complaint several times and also by email. Eventually supervisor did contact me. I inform the supervisor that I requested to speak to somebody in authority. However, this was refused to have received another payment of £16..... An outstanding balance over still owed after 3 months of £2... As this has now affected my health is costing me money by phoning them, etc I will not follow it up as I find this organisation very rude, unprofessional and never fulfilled their promises. I don’t know if it’s just a rip-off or unprofessional people. However, shame on shell energy broadband, unbelievable.

Honestly - don't bother! I hardly ever leave bad reviews but Shell Energy Broadband are the worst. I'm meant to have fibre broadband but my speeds are always between 1-3MB. I asked them for help several times and they either told me that it was a problem in my area (it wasn't) or tried to charge me to get someone to come and look at it. I've finally cancelled and found a better provider. But despite being out of contract, they've still charged me £12 for the pleasure. Terrible.

Terrible internet service & customer care. Internet signal constantly drops out & WiFi reception around the home is limited to the room with the router only, which is unreliable too. Called customer service & they were rude, made excuses for constant bad signal (e.g. using too many devises at once- only me at home so only one ever used at one time) & came up with silly suggestions to fix the issues. I gave them the opportunity to resolve before swapping to another provider. Shell informed me it was my phone line, I now have a new provider with excellent service & guess what- no issues with my line. DO NOT go with shell energy broadband

I recently left Shell Broadband having completed the minimum term on the contract and have just received a threatening email telling me to return my router or face a £35 charge. I never wanted their damned router in the first place as I have my own far superior router and have not kept their useless piece of junk. Now they want me to pay for the POS!

Please do not join this terrible company. They blame all your equipment in your home for their disgraceful service. They seem to be trained to say you are talking over them, not interested in helping customers whatsoever. Cannot believe this company is allowed to trade. Service NOT!!! I agree with others 1 star review is too much NIL points.

Absolutely useless. Zero customer service, slow broadband, frequent outages, no outage checker. Just a license to print money since they acquired the Post Office Broadband business. Avoid like Covid-19.

I have had no problem with Shell broadband. Customer service very helpful when needed. No extra charges for anything and very affordable. I will have to wait for my 12 month contract finishes to see if I need to swop. But so far - no complaints.

It was slow then it was still post office didn't think it could getting any slower boy was I WRONG. It is the slowest internet iv ever had. Constantly cutting out. I'm so glad my contract ends this month so I can leave. DO NOT GO WITH SHELL ENERGY unless3you like banging your head against a brick wall.

Literally the worst and most expensive boradband provider I have ever had the misfortune of using. Terrible and rude customer service. Huge expense for the new router. Drop outs are endless. Dont even bother trying to explain anything to the staff as they are terribly rude and offer no help. If I was them I would stick to destroying the planet by drilling for oil. DO NOT go with Shell.

Broadband from Shell energy is the worst broadband we have ever used. The wireless router is so unreliable, Shell Energy advised us to use wires throughout the house!!! The signal is totally unreliable, as it comes and goes between 2-10 times per day. It's a terrible broadband facility and I cannot wait to get out of this contract. Only 9 and a half months to go. Please don't set up a contract with Shell Energy, unless you want no end of disturbances and stress. It's the worst broadband decision we have ever made

Customer service appalling. Broadband reliability non existent. Patronising customer service

Absolutely awful company in every way. Been with them 4 months so far, still no connection to the internet, they will trap you into more charges in every way they can. Avoid getting into a contract or engineer visit, is going to end up costing me hundreds for nothing but stress, no connection & extremely poor customer service. Believe nothing they say….

The worse company I have ever come across , appalling customer service they have no idea about broad band and constantly huff and puff on phone before conveniently being cut off , tried to persuade me to buy extra connectors costing over £8p to help with my wireless problem but when the engineer from BT came out they confirmed that Shell had turned my wireless connection off purposely. Please avoid avoid avoid . I cancelled eventually due to no internet service at all !!!!’

NO stars for this company, it is shame not having no stars! The 4 people I have got in touch do not have any idea how to resolve problems apart than cancelling my order! Really bad

The wifi signal has limited range compared to BT. Once I am on my patio, signal drops. I used to be able to access wifi anywhere in house and garden with BT. Also Shell blocks the use of 18866 service for cheaper international calls. Customer service were not able to resolve these issues. I am sorry I moved to a cheaper but poorer provider.

I normally don't leave reviews, but this company deserves every single bad comment they receive. The customer service is the most unqualified, unprofessional and rude I ever seen. Got hang up 3 times, just apologies but not actual help with us trying to cancel the contract as they are breaking it because we don't get any stable/reliable service. We spoke with Bethany, a manager, completely useless just re-reading the manual without listening to us. We work as well on Customer service so we are no fools on your illicit tricks.
Avoiding a person to cancel a broken contract because we should not be charged on the fee termination, is completely unacceptable.
We have been 1 month and a half with internet connection dropping off every hour. Connecting, disconnecting. The speed is laughable, at best gets to 10MBps, now is at 3,8MBps.
They sent 2 engineers, they did fix things for some hours. Then crashed again. They pretend to send another one and if the engineer doesn't finds anything we will be extra charged.

The Customer service is non-existance, the service is non-existance, the managers are a full joke. Probably the worst company ever. They don't care for customers, they don't care for internet provided, they only care for money income.
Now make sense why they are the only ones that doesn't accepts the voluntary Code of Practice.

AVOID - You have been warned!

Worst provider ever, customer service is diabolical.

WORST BB service provide. They send out faulty equipment and try to charge you for it. Never received broad band very slow to repair and customer services over the phone is appalling. Don't waste your time, the offer is to good to be true. Not even worth the 1 star.

I moved my broadband to a new supplier after Shell upgraded me to fibre without any need for it as I get an excellent ADSL speed. I was well out of the minimum contract term. Unfortunately I paid Shell £30 through internet banking by mistake and they won’t pay it back, claiming I owed them for cancellation in contract. They won’t provide a letter of stalemate so I can raise a complaint with Ofcom and they have failed to provide an address where they can be served with court papers. Totally unconcerned about having a reputation as common thieves
