Shell Energy Broadband ‘overwhelmed by complaints’

“…this company is overwhelmed by complaints and customers spend over a hour waiting to speak to a person.”: “Broadband still not working 3 weeks after connection date…”

31 MAY 2022

The content below is sourced from current verifiable customer reviews of Shell Energy published on Trustpilot.

Give Shell Energy broadband a miss!

Allegedly Shell Energy purports to be a telecommunications company. Sadly this company is lacking in all departments.
I don’t wonder if their customer service people wake up screaming.
*Sorry!
*We do understand
*We apologize
*Thank you for your patience
*You have come through to gas & electric.
None of these employees have any means of resolving issues so have to resort to platitudes. The result is that this company is overwhelmed by complaints and customers spend over a hour waiting to speak to a person. The only way to get through is via social media but still not much is achieved.
Since Shell Energy took over from the Post Office they are pleased to take in fees without giving the service paid for. No wonder Shell profits are soaring!
My own problems have been ongoing for almost a month now without a result.
Incidentally still waiting for the contract details promised on 7/4/2022. read more

Shell Climate Case to Return to Focus at Annual Shareholder Meeting

Shell Climate Case to Return to Focus at Annual Shareholder Meeting

Laura HurstBloomberg News

(Bloomberg) — Climate issues are set to take center stage at Shell Plc’s annual general meeting on Tuesday, with a key group saying the energy giant isn’t abiding by a landmark court order requiring it to cut emissions by 45% by 2030.  

Milieudefensie, the Dutch arm of Friends of the Earth, says Shell’s plans around customer-related emissions — which make up the bulk of its pollution — aren’t in line with last year’s judgment. The group originally brought the case against the company.

“The judge’s verdict is clear and necessary: Shell must stop causing dangerous climate change,” said campaign spokesperson Nine de Pater, who plans to attend the meeting in London as a proxy shareholder.  read more
