    I was a post office customer so had to switch to shell energy ( a case of necessity not choice ) The b/b is reliable to a degree but quite slow considering i pay for superfast ringing the c/s the wait time is appalling even after 45 mins iwas still waiting and was then told best time to ring 7 am why should i have to do this to speak to someone im currently looking to change

    The customer service team fail to provide a reasonable level of basic customer service.

    The post office should have never of sold the services to the most incompetent provider on the market.

    Post office transferred me Shell Energy. Worst company ever. Please DO NOT JOIN!
    Won't create me an account. Cant see any details of contract etc. You CANNOT CONTACT THEM IN ANY WAY. No chat, calling is impossible and don't ever reply to emails. I pay £22.99 a month for fast broadband. They are supplying 9.5 speed! Emailed a week ago...still taking my money and still poor speed and no contact!!

    Recently, Shell Energy put their price up, so I looked at alternatives and decided to go with Now Broadband instead.
    Shell rapidly backtracked and put the price back down, so I decided to stay with them, but wish I hadn't.
    I've called Shell 5 times (so far) to get them to email me the latest contract, but each time they say Now have taken it over and I have to wait for them to drop it. However, when I called Now, they insisted that they have already done this.
    My basic problem with Shell is that every time I call, I'm on the line for 40 - 50 minutes, most of it 'on hold' waiting to be transferred to their 'Retentions Dept'. On 3 occasions, they've offered to call me back the next day but have NEVER done so.
    I spoke to someone today (hello Ron) who also promised to call me back tomorrow. I told him about the previous 3 failures and that if he also failed, my next call would be to cancel.
    To be fair, their broadband has been reliable, so I've not had to deal with their customer 'service'. Now that I have, I can see why so many others give it a good slagging off.

    Awful company. Broadband is patchy at best, speed is NOT what is advertised. Sometimes you can generate 10MB connection speed, other times it just falls out completely. Web pages don't load properly, pictures and message interaction is a nightmare.

    Actually speaking to a human is near impossible unless you have a spare 2hrs to spend trying to get through.

    Tried to cancel but they put every barrier possible to delay you and thus fall out of the cooling-off period.
    AVOID AVOID AVOID.

    Absolute nonsense,had no issues with post office but shell is terribly shocking, do not join ever as it doesn't hardly work. Don't look forward to coming home and watching a few movies on Netflix as you probably won't make it past the first five minutes. Ridiculous.

    Finally received my Ombudsman cheque today after a period of hassle lasting 6months. Unanswered phone calls, on line chat and emails unanswered just when mu landline developed a fault and they became uncontactable what a shower they have proved to be.

    Worst broadband I have every had. Cant contact as they make it impossible to speak with someone so used email to communicate and told my speeds are as they should be. I only stream but have no confidence that I can watch without constant buffering so have lost confidence completely. Should come with a warning when a company is this bad. Currys pc World should cut all ties and I will put this to them next time I am in the shop, sold a contract that will waste 18 months due to bad connectivity
