    I cannot fault Shell Broadband. After reporting a fault on the line of Friday, the technical team arranged for BT to attend between Tuesday - Thursday the following week, BT arrived at 9.00am on Tuesday and fixed the fault.
    You cannot beat Shell Broadband the cost for Ultra fast broadband, and it works !
    The call centre are professional in answering your queries, it does take a while to get through.

    the most frustrating experience.
    horrible customer service, they told me I would get a £20 compensation, plus £15 credit. When I call to double-check they told me that I said that I (myself) didn't want the compensation that was promised. Had to stay on the phone to try to get my money back.
    To get this wifi I had 3 different technicians at my house and more than 10 hours on the phone, more then 2 months to get it.
    Is 2022. I live in central London. this should be easy.

    This is not only the worst internet service provider I have ever been with - it is the worst company I have ever dealt with. Please avoid. The internet cuts out up to 12 times a day. They make you pay for a number of engineer visits that don't fix the problem before you can even think about cancelling. You might as well chuck your money down the toilet. I was advised by customer service that I had a specific agent that would deal with my query and fix the issue... he promised to call the Monday before last and he did not. Never heard from him again.

    Disgusting customer service. In short I have had major issues with internet connection and phone line; the problem has mainly been since Shell took over from Post Office. Interrupted internet for 4 months and very slow or no connection for long periods, interference on landline also. After trying everything that was suggested and a total of 4 engineer calls to the property and a new router we eventually got a better service.
    Due to the loss of a service that I was paying for and not getting, other than intermittently, and the amount of time wasted trying to get through to customer service I decided to ask for compensation. I started this process in April and, after various misinformation from customer service staff, I have found out today that I am not entitled to any money back! I find this strange as I had previously been told that the amount I had agreed on had been reduced and that it was approved and in the hands of the finance dept. I have made numerous calls in order to chase this up with no communication initiated from Shell; funny how quick they were to contact me to say they wanted money for the router I had supposedly not returned.( I had evidence of the return)
    I strongly advise people NOT to use Shell as their internet or phoneline provider.

    Broadband speed no where near predicted. Broadband service dropped out and cut out everytime we had an incoming call (new provider doesn't).

    Left after a year and they owed me money, which I got fed up waiting for and so had to remind them, they said I would get it in 10 days it took nearer twenty.

    Unless I’m within 10ft of the router do I have good connectivity & stability. I’ve complained over several months about this, even had an open reach engineer visit to check everything, he told me for what we are paying & what is needed to run all the devices in our home; this router is too Weak and we’ll always have problems. Shell energy know about this and recommended I buy a wifi booster from them! The amount of stress caused from months of this is ridiculous.

    Yes totally agree.Shell unable to provide a reliable connection and let's compare with buying a vehicle and it breaks down every 15 minutes. Well not one person would keep it and if within the first day this was a regular feature then it is unreasonable to expect that customer to continue with that dealer or service.

    Do not use this company, you have been warned! worse than TalkTalk, Blatent lies about speeds, promised 14 day get out clause if not happy which again lied about, 3 hour waits on phone to complain, claimed they didn’t receive the router back even though I had proof of postage, loads of apologies but no refunds or compensation, absolutely dire customer service
