    If I could leave no stars I would. Please avoid this company, I wish id have known just how awful they were but I thought being owned by Shell they would be trustworthy. They are unprofessional incompetent and worst of all unscrupulous. You anyone but SHELL ENERGY

    Post office was the best Internet provider i had ever had and then along came shell energy. They took over and what a shock to the system it was, our Internet speed plummeted despite us being on one of the highest speed pakages. I suspect we were down graded on the switch over and im lucky if i get a consecutive 5 hours of Internet without if completely dropping out. Overall its just not a good company. But thats not the worst of it. We recived an email saying the prices are increasing and we had 30 days to switch if we wanted to and we would get no exit fees. So we did just that the very same day, finding a cheaper more reliable company and set it all up. We even sent an email informing shell that we were taking them up on the offer to switch without fees. And then got an email telling us we ere gettng charged exit fees. I phoned and was told theres jothing they can do because its already on the system and its my fault because i was supposed to phone them before trying to switch and ask to be let out of the contract.which is not what ofgem states. I do not have to ask permission to switch, and the only time i need to inform them i am switching is if my provider doesn't use openreach cables. So no im not pleased at all with this company

    Can't even login to my account. Was transferred to Shell when Post Office sold their phone and broadband to them last year. They must be the most incompetent providers on the market. Deal ends soon so I'll be outta here!

    Shell Energy having taken over Post Office Home Phone are absolutely clueless! Cancelled my broadband because of an impending house move and received assurances that cancellation would be implemented after 30 days notice period. Not so. Invoices continued for 3 month for line rental. Spent hours on the phone trying to sort it out even though I had written email confirmation of termination date. Additionally wrote by email and snail mail but received no reply. All staff appear to be working from home. One phone call lasted 1 hour 31 minutes but still did not resolve the issue!! Because they are working from home if one puts you on hold you get the god dam awful music and then someone else eventually cuts in and you go through the whole security process again and again. If this company is serious about phones then they need to sort out their own ASAP! Take my advice and look elsewhere if you are looking for a broadband provider because if you get any sort of problem this lot couldn't organise a p***up in a brewery!
    Post Office Home Phone certainly weren't the best but I'll say it again, Shell Energy are absolutely clueless and appear to know nothing about phones and customer service is certainly not their forte.

    The worst company I have ever dealt with. Had no broadband since 20 May ( now 14July) . No explanation from Shell. They have not responded to letters or on- line attempts by myself . You wait on phone until you give up. Dreadful company.

    Switched to Shell Energy Broadband. Lost my internet connection. Met with a wall of silence from customer services, despite trying to contact them daily.
    After a month forced to switch to another provider. Months of arguing about my bill followed. Referred to Ombudsman, and reported to Ofcom. Awarded £75 for inconvenience caused.
    There is a reason that they aren't part of Ofcom's automatic compensation scheme!

    This company is rubbish, do not touch them with a bargepole. Been with the Post Office for years, next to no problems, since Shell Energy took over absolutely appalling service

    Unable to leave no stars. Cancelled broadband on 27th of April. Still took £25 out of my account in May. Was promised a refund on 16th June said it would take upto 10 days(when i finally managed to speak to someone)Didnt get refund. Surely keeping customers money is illegal. I hate the fact they have lied and cheated me out of my money but i know it wont do any good contacting them again. Wouldnt trust Shell ever again wouldnt buy energy or anything else from them. Worst company ive ever dealt with.Appalled how they can get away with it.
