    Painfully slow at times. Not very reliable either. If I knew then what I know now I would probably give my business to another company. I do not get the promised speeds most of the time. They are cheap though.

    Transferred from Post Office broadband. After being a customer for over 10 years.

    My review of Shelly Energy Broadband:
    Overall good value & service.

    Great internet speeds

    Customer service times, does need some improvements. I've found the best way to contact them is through the "live chat" on the website.

    Internet has gone down a couple times, however customer services are good at tying to find the issue.

    They are one of the only broadband providers that still don't require you to have a direct debit with them.
    So bills can be paid in person at the post office.
    Or through there website.

    Hadn’t even got to the installation stage! Booked onto Shell Energy Broadband after buying our tv through Curry’s & also needing broadband to move into our new house, we booked this on the 15th, they processed our order on the 16th/17th, we were blissfully unaware of the rest to unfold…we weren’t sent any communications so I called them, I was told there were delays with openreach (no actual given reason) but our go live date was still going ahead. Go live date was the 1st of September 2023 it got to this date & by this point, we had not received our router in the post or had any contact from Shell. I waited the 8am-8pm & still no sign of anything, after numerous calls & excuses, our router wasn’t even sent out, so I’m not sure they even had the intention of a go live date being kept. After having waited 3 and a half weeks altogether with the promise to go live, I’ve had to cancel, I’ve also used up all my phone data having to work from home, and now I’m waiting another 2 weeks for another service provider, thanks for nothing Shell.

    Far cheaper (initially) when I joined but I have been plagued by very slow broadband speeds (once recorded at 0.2Mbps) and signal drops. I'm now switching to Plusnet and Shell have cancelled my service one full day earlier than requested. Beyond dreadful.

    I should have checked the reviews before signing up to Shell! I've suffered from repeated outages sometimes up to four hours. I'm now considering leaving and cancelling my direct debit so that Shell can't try taking cancellation fees. I do not understand how they can levy such charges when they've failed to fulfil a contract.
    They'll probably try threatening me with loss of credit rating credibility but at the age of 83 that's hardly going to be of concern!
    Has anyone considered taking class action against Shell? There appears to be a huge amount of dissatisfied customers!

    Fast and reliable wifi when it finally was set up, but faced weeks and weeks of delays before this with poor communication and unkept promises from Shell. Moved house earlier this year and tried to stick with them but had similar issues where I was promised a 'go live' date that came and went with no wifi only to be told the order hadn't gone through. Waited a week to find out it was still no further and they could not give me a new date, so cut my losses and cancelled with them. No real apology from Shell and a constant sense that people I spoke to on the phone didn't really know what was going on and just wanted to give me a quick answer to get the call finished.

    Worst company I have ever had to deal with, from the very start when we couldn’t get internet for the first 10 days. To now 3 months on when I’m being charged for call-outs I didn’t ask for. Just trying to get this sorted and call out charge taken off my bill has taken so much time. Live chat is awaful and call centre is not much better. Do not go with them you will regret it like me.

    I have been with shell energy for 3 years and can honestly say it is the worst company I have ever delt with. After 2 years they cancelled my contract without my knowledge. I then found out that this resulted from my neighbour accidently putting my flat number which resulted in them terminating my contract. After opening a new contract I experienced a variety of different problems such as my bills being higher than what the contract states and my internet was running significantly slower. The customer service here is apauling. With all these issues arising every couple of weeks I was constantly on the phone with customer service, every person I spoke with told me something different and I was constantly being told to speak with different departments as no one knows what they are doing. They reopened several contract for me with out my permission and when I wanted to leave the company due to all the hasses and no revolment of any of these issues, they then told me I had to pay for the full termination fee because it was a new contract. As stated above I did not agree to cancel or reopen my contract several times and i now should have been in my original contract for 9 months meaning I should only need to pay for the remaining 9 months ( it is a 18 month contract). But shell energy is insisting I pay for the full 18 month termination fee. I would highly suggest that everyone stays away from this company as they are only looking to scam and make more money
