Shell Energy Broadband Home Broadband Reviews

Unable to actually order Broadband with them as they keep cancelling my order accidentally. Customer service doesn't help. Avoid at all costs.

Moved house, tried to move contract over to new house. Was told we would not receive an early termination fee. However, 3 months later, being pestered to pay £150 for an early termination fee! Impossible to get through to them over the phone. Absolute rubbish.

Disgusting company, poor customer service.

Wont admit their own faults, try and pass the blame onto someone else then when they are pulled up on it start demanding money for time related charges when you didnt agree to them in the first place

Complete rubbish at times less than 1/2 mg , or no internet connection.very difficult to contact, speaking to a human not easy! Fail to respond to email complaints , call backs by management promised ( doesn't happen) worst company we have ever had for Broardband , then want to charge penaltys to change to better provider when there supply not fit for purpose.

absolutely the worst provider I have ever used. download speed 1.5mbps
upload. 85

they not only want paid 30 days notice to leave but a £15 admin charge.
5 days after official complaint nothing from ANYONE.
one word PATHETIC

Simply the worse, shop around if your already locked in a contract with these cause some companies will pay your contract out like Iv luckily had done. 15 months of absolute garbage lmao

AVOID AT ALL COSTS
31ST July i was meant to be connected, its now the 10th august and have no connection still. Openreach are to blame apparently. Customer care is a total shambles. Yet they expect money to be paid b4 ive even got my services up and running. Really wish id read reviews before signing up with them.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS - Poor customer service. I applied to join Shell Broadband then cancelled due to poor customer service reviews. Instead of cancelling at my request, the company alleged that I had a poor credit rating and to check with experian, checked with experian and my credit rating is 999 out of 999. So Shell get facts totally wrong, and I have threatened a formal complaint if they do not correct the records. If anyone is thinking of joining - DO NOT JOIN - I am a doctor in a respectable profession - for them to allege a poor credit rating is totally out of order.

Truly the worstcustomer service of any provider I have had. Difficult to get in touch with and they charge you to do so. Without a reliable working telephone line for over seven weeks due to their reluctance to pay for work needed at the exchange. Closed down complaints with responding to them. Refused to issue deadlock letters. Will be seeking contract cancellation through the regulator or the courts if necessary. Understand this company charges £15 to leave whether in contract or out of contract (T&C'S). Broadband speed is good considering we are within a mile of the exchange, but given one star because the router is rubbish and wifi is poor throughout(bought a Ubiquiti Unifi access point wifi to boost signal).

Joined Shell broadband after Years of BT. Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones but so far Shell is ten times better!!

I have been with Shell since they they bought First Utility. I have had no problems with service until now. Broadband went down yesterday. Contacted help line. They say in an email they tried to get back to me - untrue. No missed calls. Did the pigeon die on the way here? You need support when this sort of thing happens, but where are they. Hopeless. Judging by the other comments it may get worse yet. Already booked to change supplier to one with sensible support hours.

I have been with Shell Broadband for 18 months paying one of the lowest rates on the market. Their broadband reliability has been excellent with no drop outs at all and although I’m only on the basic broadband the speed is consistently over 10 mb. Their customer service is prompt and courteous and I can recommend them to anyone. I have no complaints at all.

This company are appalling. Broadband is constantly crashing. 2 engineers booked, 1 came out no internal wiring/router problems now charged £80 and still no broadband. How can i get away from them. Do not use this company

I joined Shell Broadband back in December 2019. At first it took them about 2 months of constant emails to give me a static IP address. I also emailed them before I joined to confirm if I can use my own router the said yes. I a have for the last 8 weeks been getting constant disconnections. They tried to send me out there premium router which was a bit better but still disconnects. They sent out an Open reach engineer the first time who found a line fault and fixed it..the second engineer didn't find anything and I have now been charged over £70 for him turning up and doing nothing. I believe that Shell Energy use Talk Talk infrastructure (they have some of the worst reputation in the industry if I had known this I would not have joined). I now have escalated this to ombudsman and awaiting there verdict. I have never had any issues with any other ISPs AVOID THIS ONE LIKE THE PLAGUE

Very unreliable and slow

AVOID. Shell failed to port my landline number (which I have had for 18 years) and tell me it is now 'lost' forever. Customer service is terrible when it comes to trying to resolve or understand this. Email comms also terrible/absent/inaccurate. AVOID AVOID AVOID.

I had a very bad experience with Shell energy broadband

I am appalled by the lack of service provided by Shell energy. After attempting to contact Shell Broadband 3 times to cancel and not getting through to them in addition to sending a letter of complaint (with no reply) I am disgusted.
I have been left with no other option but to cancel my direct debit until someone finally rings me to request payment.
DO NOT TOUCH THIS COMPANY!

I thought they were cheaper. I had joined them on 20 Sept. 2019. Great mistake. I reported a fault on my Landline SIX days ago. Nobody came to check, though was promised. The Broadband service the POOREST of all I had joined in the past. Connection very slow, it keeps on being cut off. I very much want to DITCH them before my contract ends, if they would let me leave them. Please, please. do not let them deceive you, do not make the mistake I had made. It is the WORST service one can find. I am dispatching to their Registered office, a copy of a BUNCH of REVIEWS by the DISSATISFIED customers. Hope they close down the Company. ----- HA NARAN

Never ever have shell broad band . Very poor speed constantly dropping and when you report they send someone out who can find nothing wrong but customer service is always very sorry they can see how bad it is ..then they have the nerve to take £65 from your acc 3 months later saying they could find nothing wrong and they didn't let me know they were taking it ..so someone somewhere us lying BE WORNED NEVER EVER TOUCH SHELL BROAD BAND...
