    Although it took some weeks to set up the broadband, I was pleased with the low price. It did drop out and there were times when I lost connection for quite a while. The price went up after a year so I cancelled and went to another provider. I asked to keep my landline number and they said a firm "NO" and told me, amongst other things that they had given it to someone else and that I had to send the router back within a month or they would fine me for the cost of it and sent me a postbag! Meeow!

    Appalling service, it has been several weeks of waiting for installation then the engineer turned up and said it was up and running but broadband never worked. They sent another engineer who stated the line was never active and has never worked, plus he cannot fix it. We still do not have broadband as it is constant to and fro with them

    I was with Shell Energy broadband and switched from them to a new service provider because I was not happy with their service. They continued to charge me after I had switched and when I questioned this they told me that my new service provider did not tell them of my switch so it was their fault and that they were totally responsible for the sum I had incurred. However, having spoken to my new service provider they told me that as I had switched from a copper line to full fibre they would not have told shell as it would not be the same line. Meanwhile, Shell customer service stuck to their guns and told me basically that I must pay the bill. They were unsympathetic, and absolutely just wanted their money regardless of the fact that I had not been using their service for over a month. My new service provider was ever so kind and due to the way I was treated by Shell broadband offered me a discount on my next bill in kind which they were not even obliged to do. I am thankful for good-hearted people. That's what we need more of in the world.

    Terrible. I have a fault with the line outside of my home which is an Openreach issue I've had since before I moved to Shell. The issue with Shell is that although they have notes showing that the fault is external (copper joint fault) and their line tests come back with the same result every time I call they still ask me to do checks on my setup. I've worked in Broadband Tech Support for over 12 years and even though I give them all of the information they need to resolve the issue quickly I still have to sit and go through their script. These aren't broadband experts who know what they're talking about, they're monkeys following a script.

    DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

    An absolute joke when it comes to customer service,
    My Broadband was ment to go live on 4th Sept,
    4 days later nothing !
    Spent over 2hrs on phone being passed from one department to another to then be told my order was cancelled then told it was still live
    Agent asked me to unscrew faceplate at wall and try and connect inside,
    Never heard anything like this ever,
    Then told an engineer would call a few days later but he never showed up,
    When I called them they tell me he was at my door ! NO HE WASNT, then they tell me he called me ! NO HE DIDNT,
    Then then said he would call back following day which he did in his own car, no tools, told me he was off day before as he had to take dog to vet,
    Something told me he was at it,
    Told me the router was refurbished and faulty and I would have to call to arrange another router to be sent out,
    When I threatened to cancel they assured me I’d get router within 48hrs which I did,
    Again it didn’t work, closer inspection it was another refurbished one,
    Then after spending another hour on phone to cancel order I was threatened with a £300 cancellation charge,
    I’ve had no service from day 1 and very poor customer service,
    At that point I said I would be paying nothing and proceeded to cancel DD,

    This is undoubtedly the worst company I’ve delt with, I’d urge anyone reading this to not use this company as your stress levels will go through the roof,

    Worse two weeks of my life ever.

    I would not recommend shell energy broadband and phone to anyone , Had no problem at all with the Post Office. but when Shell took over they cut me off and sent a engineer out to check my router and said that I wanted a new one when in actual fact it still worked as I tried it before sending it back They told me that I could upgrade to superfast fibre and the contract would last 18 months at a cost of around £29 but every time I receive a a paper bill it has gone up and the last one that I got was £44 , I spent 1 hour 45 minutes on the phone just to hear music playing so I hung up after getting an head ache the day after I hung up after 30 minutes.I received a letter telling me that a charge of £2.25 for a paper bill it stated that the charge would be taken on the 11 of September if I did not contact them by the 30th of august I received the letter on the 11th of September.funny how when you need to contact Shell for joining it is dead easy to get in touch with them but try getting in touch with a problem and see what happens I am considering just cancelling my direct debit payments because it seems to me that the contract is not worth the paper its wrote on , I cannot even get through by using the computer they are a dreadful outfit .
