Frustrated and disgusted by Shell Broadband

“I’ve had no reliable connection since I switched provider to Shell. Nearly 2 weeks now…”: “Terrible Intermittent Service. Customer Service is hard to get a hold of – when you do, they are rude.”

Hasn’t worked properly from the get go and it’s hard to contact customer service as they give you the usual “go online and let the chatbots or help options see to your needs” rubbish. How can I go online when my internet isn’t working? Basic logic fault. Whether it’s the router or exchange problems god alone knows as the Qube guy couldn’t fix it.
I’ve had no reliable connection since I switched provider to Shell. Nearly 2 weeks now. I’m disabled and need a decent service to stay connected. I wish I’d stayed with my previous provider now. At least when I had power cuts the router would reconnect automatically. I’m frustrated and disgusted. read more

Terrible Shell Broadband Wi-Fi, virtually unusable

31 July 2023

The content below is sourced from current verifiable customer reviews of Shell Energy published on Trustpilot.

I have had terrible Wi-Fi, it’s been virtually unusable

In all my years using broadband, this has been by far the worst Broadband I have ever, ever experienced. It has been impossible to stream the most basic movie on an iPad. Even the online newspaper stops and if you buy this. Get used to the swirly circle, as it’s all you ever see. Shockingly bad. Wi-Fi is virtually none existent. I’ll be amazed if I can send this review without it stopping and losing all the data.

Broadband that never materialised

Broadband that never materialised! Terrible customer service. Transfered from department to department. Each tech support blaming the other. Eventually blaming a fault on the line which mysteriously appeared when Shell took over!? THERE IS NO FAULT ON MY LINE. Oh and now illegally trying to charge me over £300 for cancelling early even though I’m still in the 14 day cooling off period!? Disgusting.

Absolute bunch of liars

I have been with this company twice in recent years and have found them wanting on both occasions. They have held on to my money that was in credit, lied to me on numerous occasions that it had been paid out, even told me a cheque had been issued but still no refund. Lied to me that I had accessed my account when it was them. I still do not have resolution after 5 months. They have refused to log a complaint until last month and have had nothing but what can be described as abuse. It will be a good day when this business is sold. read more

Steer clear of Shell Energy Broadband

The worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life. I would strongly advise you to steer clear of Shell Energy. We have been unable to use wifi for two months and I call about twice a week to follow up on my litany of complaints only to be told there is no issue.

They refuse to let you talk to the complaints department and after a month of numerous phone calls they finally promised to send out an engineer. My two housemates and I waited at home for two days and no engineer arrived. We are being charged each month for a service they do not provide.

Demands for bills that have been paid and causing me at 76yrs old much stress. Issue now sorted and can only hope it is not repeated. read more

Shell’s terrible broadband customer service

25 July 2023

The content below is sourced from current verifiable customer reviews of Shell Energy published on Trustpilot.

Terrible broadband customer service

Terrible broadband customer service. They have zero flexibility and no intention to please customers. Seems like a good deal at first, but they won’t offer end-of-contract deals. Shell also increases prices in the middle of the contract. Went from paying £17 to £30 per month. Avoid at all costs. Believe me, you will end up paying more than what is shown on the price comparison sites.

Worst company with utterly ridiculous customer service

After breaking so many promises, FINALLY shell energy manage to connect my broad band on 20/07/2023. The Original date was 04/07/2023. In between this period not a single day Shell rang me and gave me any update. I made phone calls so many times to get the update. They always replied some one from complain handling team will contact with me and that never happened. Even after this review you may find a Reply from Shell that they are sorry for my experience and always strive to provide legendary customer service. It is a joke, they are legend to provide worst customer service and they are unbeatable. The internet speed is very poor and i barely get any signal in my living room. Than you for taking time to read my review it will save you from a Fraud company like Shell. I have couple of thousands of earning and other loses after switching to them and mental stress is endless. Please ask your friends and family not to take their service. read more

Shell Energy wifi keeps dropping out and line speeds are slow

Reviewer C: Location London: Date 2023-06-23

Comments

Ever since I moved to shell energy the wifi keeps dropping out and line speeds are super slow, no where near the fibre I am paying for. Two openreach engineers have visited, the last one saying they cannot find a fault in the line and the issue must be the router, since shell rent the line from talk talk. Shell initially refused to send me a new router but after contacting them again they agreed. Now waiting for new router to see if it fixes the intermittent and very slow broadband. read more

Utterly Crap Shell Broadband

17 July 2023

The content below is sourced from current verifiable customer reviews of Shell Energy published on Trustpilot.

Possibly the Worst Broadband Service Ever

I cannot find words to describe how utterly crap Shell Broadband is. In all my years I have never experienced such an appalling service. Every evening it would vanish at midnight when I needed to work. Why? No other provider does this. Constantly dropping out, it is an unreservedly derisory service. If it’s not enough to be screwing the planet and raking in vast profits in a cost-of-living crisis (oh and also still trading gas with Russia), they can’t even operate a half descent broadband service. At your own peril… read more

Do not trust Shell Broadband

They have left me so frustrated and have wasted so much of my time that I do not actually have the energy or the will to detail the extensive list of crimes committed by this company but I did have to write something.

New customer no phone or broadband for 1st three days

New customer. Went live yesterday. No Internet or landline since. Found out after third phone call from my mobile phone that Shell had sent wrong router. 48 hours to get correct one. Not a good start. Don’t understand why phone not working.

Never write reviews but this was the…

Never write reviews but this was the worst customer service I’ve ever encountered, they messed up my order, then I tried to ring eveylry day for a week to sort it out and they were just cutting me off, I finally got through to someone and they said they’d look into it for me, then I get an email saying it was cancelled, I should of only been a couple days without Internet, but I had to change providers now I’m 3 weeks.

Very unreliable at times. Customer service absolutely terrible. I eventually left for a better provider and had a terrible time trying to get a final bill.

Many phone calls where they had told me I hadn’t returned the router (I had) and several final bills which included charge for non return of router. I asked several times for correct bill and they eventually without warning referred me to collections agency. I called the agency immediately and they had the correct amount which I paid over the telephone immediately. Avoid this company Poor Broadband and extremely poor customer service. read more

Shell, you are an appalling company of blatant lies, deceit, fobbing off and misinformation

Failed broadband activation- Third complaint

Activation date 27th June – No broadband. No updates, apologies from Shell, no emails, no notifications. I complained on this forum yesterday and requested to speak to a manager. I was told by Sara I would receive a call from the team as soon as possible. Sat in all day yesterday and of course received no calls whatsoever…

I’ve now had to resort to contacting Openreach for updates…

Shell, you are an appalling company of blatant lies, deceit, fobbing off and misinformation. Shame on you. read more

Nightmare. I only found out that the post office internet had been sold to Shell after investigating why my Internet had started to run slow and keeps dropping out all of the time. It’s been down for 5 hours again today and I am lucky that wasn’t during work. Expecting to get no help again from customer services.

Reviewer Joao Paulo: Location Spalding: Date 2023-06-07

very disappointed as we work from home they couldn’t sort my problem over the phone. Was clear a problem with router, asked to send a new router to sort the problem instead they said a booster would be a better option. 8 days until receive the booster that still not sorted my problem. My only option was sign up to a new broadband that actually works with better speed and took them 1 day to come here and install everything. Shame on shell and shame I still have 10 months left to pay for internet that is weak and no need anymore. don’t go for shell read more
