Utterly Crap Shell Broadband

17 July 2023

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

Possibly the Worst Broadband Service Ever

I cannot find words to describe how utterly crap Shell Broadband is. In all my years I have never experienced such an appalling service. Every evening it would vanish at midnight when I needed to work. Why? No other provider does this. Constantly dropping out, it is an unreservedly derisory service. If it’s not enough to be screwing the planet and raking in vast profits in a cost-of-living crisis (oh and also still trading gas with Russia), they can’t even operate a half descent broadband service. At your own peril… read more

Do not trust Shell Broadband

They have left me so frustrated and have wasted so much of my time that I do not actually have the energy or the will to detail the extensive list of crimes committed by this company but I did have to write something.

New customer no phone or broadband for 1st three days

Shell broadband speed less than 1/3rd of what they promised

POSTED July 9, 2023

“Very unreliable at times. Customer service absolutely terrible. I eventually left for a better provider and had a terrible time trying to get a final bill.”: “Utterly useless. Customer service uncontactable, endless overcharging, broadband speed less than 1/3rd of what they promised. Look elsewhere.”

Very unreliable at times. Customer service absolutely terrible. I eventually left for a better provider and had a terrible time trying to get a final bill.

Many phone calls where they had told me I hadn’t returned the router (I had) and several final bills which included charge for non return of router. I asked several times for correct bill and they eventually without warning referred me to collections agency. I called the agency immediately and they had the correct amount which I paid over the telephone immediately. Avoid this company Poor Broadband and extremely poor customer service. read more

Failed broadband activation- Third complaint

Activation date 27th June – No broadband. No updates, apologies from Shell, no emails, no notifications. I complained on this forum yesterday and requested to speak to a manager. I was told by Sara I would receive a call from the team as soon as possible. Sat in all day yesterday and of course received no calls whatsoever…

I’ve now had to resort to contacting Openreach for updates…

Nightmare. I only found out that the post office internet had been sold to Shell after investigating why my Internet had started to run slow and keeps dropping out all of the time. It’s been down for 5 hours again today and I am lucky that wasn’t during work. Expecting to get no help again from customer services.

very disappointed as we work from home they couldn’t sort my problem over the phone. Was clear a problem with router, asked to send a new router to sort the problem instead they said a booster would be a better option. 8 days until receive the booster that still not sorted my problem. My only option was sign up to a new broadband that actually works with better speed and took them 1 day to come here and install everything. Shame on shell and shame I still have 10 months left to pay for internet that is weak and no need anymore. don’t go for shell read more

Absolute rubbish the worst internet…

Apsolute rubbish the worst internet provide ever, talk talk and now internet much better. Shell internet doesn’t work at all, they give you little to no internet, then charge you for months of internet you’ve not received rubbish company with rubbish customer service!!!!

Stay away from shell broadband

I am currently sitting on hold, it’s been 40 mins and this is my 3rd attempt to get through. First attempt Shell offered me a call back, I agreed to this. My phone rang twice as I went to answer it cut off. Second time I was on hold for 5 – 7 mins the phone began to ring and I was hung up on. This company clearly does not value its customers. Now for the reason I am trying to contact Shell. I signed up to their broadband with average advertised speed of 67mbps. I knew I would not get those speed where I live, but I knew I should be receiving 32mbps. My internet went live on the 12/06 And I have not received anything over 18mbps. Whilst writing this review I have finally managed to speak to a operator from Shell who is less than interested in helping me. I was told I’ve had looked at other speeds in your area and 16 – 24mbps is the going rate. How is it with my previous provider I could get speeds of 32mbps? The same lines are being used. I will be cancelling my contract with Shell and I will be going back to my previous provider. read more

Utter nonsense. I was tempted in by low prices, but dont be fooled, those prices will be jacked up within a month or two. In combination with a truly terrible intenet service, was promised 70mbps downloads in truth its about 4 or 5mbps, which is a tiny fraction of advertised, and a wifi signal that drops out hourly for random amounts of time, it really is an utter waste of money. was previously with sky at same address, never had these issues. read more

Currys PC World sold me Shell’s broadband package on 29/04/23.
I had a confirmation email from Shell that my Internet service will go live on 17/05/23. They sent me the router on 13/05/23 but they didn’t send the optical network terminal (ONT) neither booked an engineer to set up the router.
I’ve contacted their customer service on 15/05/23 (23mins) call to inform them that they still need to send the ONT and booked an engineer. The staff I’ve spoken to guarantee me that somebody will ring for this matter…. nobody rang. read more

I foolishly moved to Shell for my Broadband because they were the cheapest, big mistake. The last 2 days my download speed has been 0.5. Constantly buffering and saying Something went wrong! It is Fast BB but we recently had fibre cables laid. I spoke to 2 customer service chaps who said they weren’t able to offer fibre yet. Querying my speed the maximum is 1.2 which according to Shell is sufficient for my needs as I am a low user!!! Websites take forever to load. As I am out of Contract, I am jumping ship and getting Fibre from another Company. read more

Shell bought out the Post Office broadband in 2021 and my contract was automatically transferred to Shell. I’d been with the PO for over a decade and they were brilliant. Shell steal their market and within a few months the speed deteriorated. Over the last two months, it has has dropped to below 1Mbps. I work from home and this is simply not acceptable. I complained and they sent me a new router which made no difference. An IT expert told me that there must be a fault on the line was my speed was so bad. Shell denied this and said that I was not entitled to super fibre because I was on a ‘basic copper wire contract’ and wasn’t entitled to anything over 1MBPS. This is absolute rubbish. My contract is for superfibre. The replies to complaints are the usual meaningless drivel about how they value your feedback blah blah. Laughable. They now want me to pay extra to get the speeds that I’m legally obliged to under the contract. I have told them to shove it and am switching. Disgusting. A greedy exploitative company. What do you expect? It’s all part of the Great Rip -Off by the corporatocracy. read more

Company came to install fiber broadband on the 18th of May, broadband, worked for a few hours. I have been trying to get something done about it several times, if your lucky to get through your told something different each time. It’s the 5th of June now and still nothing, no reply to emails. Apsolutle rubbish, don’t ever use them.

Avoid like the plague

I recommend Shell Energy change their name to Hell Energy. My broadband has been down for two weeks and every person I have spoke with has been extremely unhelpful. I’ve been on the phone to Shell nearly every day trying to sort the issue out. First we were told that the issue is with the micro filter cable and were advised to buy a new one. This did not fix the issue. read more

It took them 8 days to connect me to broadband. They had a faulty connection but never told me. I spent 2 hours over several days phoning them to get to the bottom of it.

Unreliable Broadband

I’ve never had so much down time with a broadband provider. Earlier in the year, it was out of action for 2 weeks. A month ago it was hit and miss for 2 or 3 days. Tonight it’s gone again. Connecting and then immediately disconnecting every minute. As soon as a device connects to the router, the router drops it’s Internet connection or reboots itself completely. read more
