After being a happy customer for years (First-utility then Shell) I chose to extend my contract with them. I asked if anything would change as I was happy with the product I had and was told nothing would change apart from the price. Out of the blue I received an email stating a new router was on its way. I received the new "wi-fi 6" router which would improve my wi-fi, so I set the router up but couldn't find a way to change the default password on it. This is recommended by IT security experts and even the UK Government. After being in touch numerous times and being sent the information for the old router I was eventually contacted by someone in their support department who sent me the information for the wi-fi 6 router. However the option I needed to access on the router wasn't available, so another round of emails & calls brings us to today where I was told, rather rudely, that I shouldn't and couldn't change the default admin password. They are putting their needs before the security of their customers. Not sure if this is to do with being taken over by Octopus but I have never had any issues with their support before and have always changed the default admin password on the supplied router.

I’d give minus stars!!
I’d give minus stars!!!
This company are scammers and a joke! I was originally with post office and then they automatically switched me over to shell energy! The first thing I will say is the internet never worked it was the worst internet I’ve ever had in my 30 years! Anyway it’s £25 per month so u get what u pay for really! I rang to change the direct debt details as I had changed banks, I was told this was done but it hasn’t been, therefore they charged me a direct debt return amount! I rang again and they told me that I owed money for a month on the account which was 3 times what I had normally been paying! I was happy to pay the monthly amount but they wanted £80 for September only I looked at bank statements and I was all up to date with payments and they were not having it, they said I was out of contract so I signed up again to a similar amount to what I had previously paid. 15 days later (just out of cooling period) they tryed to take the money from the old direct debt again (incompetent) I just told them I would cancel as the new contract hadn’t started yet and wasn’t due to be paid untill 20 days later, they said I would have to pay a cancellation fee, now this really f me off as it wasn’t my fault they didn’t change direct debt, wasn’t my fault they hadn’t contacted me to say my contract ended, and I didn’t even sign up with shell energy in the first place, now few weeks pass and they have sold my debt of £80 which should of only been £25 onto a debt collection agency! I then received threatening messages from shell energy by text by email by letters, so I paid the outstanding balance which was £200 (cancellation fee) I have no 3 months later received another email to say I haven’t sent the routed back to them and now owe them more money, I didn’t receive anything to send the routed back, after paying out money I shouldn’t of had to right before Christmas they are now changing me for the router aswell this company is a joke and can not do simple tasks or communicate with there customers leaving the customer out of pocket and distressed AVOID THIS COMPANY

My broadband keeps flickering on a regular basis and the internet obviously fails, harming me on my work. I have made several videos of this, every time it happened.
Still, because I believe this issue can be sorted, I called them to move my existing broadband to a new home and I was told by Mr Loyd, that it can’t be done and I was given an increased price, for a new contract.
I was told that the present contract on this property will keep active but under a different name, I did NOT even give authorisation for this be made and I am the accountant holder!
Mr Loyd made me wait for a long time when I asked to speak to his supervisor, asking me what I wanted to talk to him about.
At the end I was also told he was not able to book a “call back” with his supervisor.
What a fantastic person Shell or now Octpus has working for them!
Customer service, ZERO!
I am not sure that anyone reads this real life and honest reviews, but it feels like companies do whatever they want with their customers and nobody defends them.

I've complained and been sent a new router and told there speeding up my connection. Non of this makes a difference it's just rubbish.

Been with Shell for about 9 months.
I had a fault at the cabinet a while back, I got hold of a lady at the support desk quickly. She found the fault and got Openreach to repair it.
Apart from this it works. Their portal is ok. The price is good.

Absolutely awful. If I could give zero I would. The worst internet I have ever had, having to use our phones data in the house, as with this internet you couldn’t possibly have Netflix on and use a phone at the same time!
DO NOT BUY!
