    Terrible internet provider. Unreliable connection, cuts out multiple times a day. When speaking with customer services you are constantly told there appears to be no issue there end.

    Absolutely useless.

    Cut off an 89 year olds phone line that was linked to his alarm - resulting in him being on a hard floor overnight for over 12 hours with no way if alerting anyone. The customer service is non existent and truly shocking! Even after speaking with various managers who endured it would be sorted and line in action asap, I call back and they deny all knowledge of any conversations-cowboy outfit through and through and absolutely no interest in helping no matter who you speak too! Please stay away from this company

    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.

    A few months ago, I decided to get shell as it was one of the only suppliers at the time giving a fair price for providing gigabit speeds; however, I wish I hadn't. The internet connection is constantly dropping, can range from 2-3 times a day. A few months ago I complained and my issues were never resolved, no one had gotten back to me. They constantly lie and say that on their end everything looks fine, it's probably something to do with my devices. As I have thoroughly studied networking, I know for a fact the issue is coming from them. Additionally, their troubleshooting helplines know nothing about networking and when they claim they provide gigabit speeds, what they really mean is 300-600Mbps. I would advise against signing up to Shell broadband at all costs!

    No broadband or phone line. Engineer canceled without being notified. On hour for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Then just cut off.

    Utterly useless. Customer service uncontactable, endless overcharging, broadband speed less than 1/3rd of what they promised. Look elsewhere.

    So far great! OpenReach installed the fibre from the pole outside. Guy did a very neat job. I managed to connect my google nest directly to the fibre termination box. Speed is between 850 and 901. No complaints at all! Half the price of virgin.

    Possibly the worst service provider I have ever had to communicate with.

    Upgraded with Shell broadband as I couldn't access the internet with the previous shell wifi. Was told that on the 31st of May I would receive a wifi box. It is now the 8th June and I have had no correspondence or wifi boxes, despite still being charged.

    Spoke with 4 different customer service agents and had been told to wait in on numerous occasions and promised the box would arrive, still to no avail.

    It is a nightmare trying to get compensation for the days I have had no service.

    Avoid shell broadband at all cost; terrible internet and awful service. I don't think the people working at Shell even know what day of the week it is.

    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
