    Just when i thought i had finally sorted out all my problems with Shell Energy had yet another demanding letter to return the router which i already had returned it after waiting for a return bag. Ongoing nightmare! Lots of problems with this company when you come to leave them.

    I have been a very satisfied Post Office Home Phone customer. Since Shell Energy is my Broadband supplier my Internet disconnect from my devices which are latest editions, frequently. Not happy.

    Wifi is fast, but drops out at least every hour. Router stays green but no internet to any devices. Customer service has been abysmal. Advised that wifi was not guaranteed and because it was still providing a service via ethernet, it was not a problem. Over 2months on, they are now sending a booster which may solve the problem, but was not required with my previous provided. Definite issues with Shell router software.

    Absolutely awful, the product that the sell in my particular area is unfit for purpose, their customer service team is atrocious and I sometimes have to pay for a service I don't receive for a week at once. Avoid like the plague

    Literally taken over a month to leave these guys... they are impossible to shake... only just been able to pay the final bill but its been such a nightmare it wouldn't surprise me if someone hasn't done their job right and they try billing me again for some other random charge.

    I first tried calling customer support around 6 weeks ago to let them know I want to terminate all services. Sat on hold for 2 hours and then when someone picked up I could hear a dog barking in the background. They proceeded to instantly mute their phone and the line was silent for 2 minutes with me sounding like an idiot repeatedly saying "hello?". They then just hung up and the call ended. Rather than sit on call for another 2 hours I thought I would give an email just to cover myself and show I tried calling to indicate the date I wanted to cancel from.

    The email communication was a little faster than the call - took around 7 days... lol.

    When I received email communication it then took around 3 - 4 back and fourth messages just repeatedly telling them "I want to terminate absolutely everything and pay any final bills". This was said so many times until they finally got the picture.

    Whatever you do just avoid these people... I was a post office Internet customer before they handed me over to these guys... absolute waste of space. Go with literally anyone else. Save your brain cells.

    I was a happy customer of Post Office broadband in an area with terrible broadband. Shell took over. I resisted going onto one of their plans as FTTP was being installed in my village (another nightmare). Fibre installed successfully so I gave notice to Shell. Since then I haven’t received my £60 refund for rental paid upfront but they have hassled me for my router. They told me to use “the returns label in the box”. I have had the router since 2014. I rang & was told to ignore the letters. Today I learned I was being fined for not returning something I never got from them. I’ll happily sue them. Avoid Shell Broadband at all costs. Customer “service” is appalling, internet drops out multiple times per day & staff lie. Takes ages to get someone to answer the phone. Delighted I switched to a dedicated FTTP provider and ditched these charlatans.

    Shell bought out Post Office broadband and our Wifi has been terrible ever since. Our internet randomly stops working day or night, and often for an hour. I’ve never experienced such poor quality service with any other broadband provider.

    (Oh, and Shell now also provide our landline service, which had worked perfectly for 20 years. Recently our landline was down for TWO WEEKS with no explanation or apology from Shell.)

    This company is a joke my farther in law regasted blind and deaf and 93. Migrated by the post office to Shell. get letter saying you have not paid you bill.not had bill yet happen every time bill arrived 3 day's later.closed account with them now say will charge him £35.00 for the modem he has never had.he only had a phone no broadband. Trying to get the thick customer service to understand this is impossible. They only have to look back on the old bill's to see this.the CEO for Shell energy as a international companie is a joke. Will now have to take this up with Offcom. Need to get staff that understand customers problems.
