    Cannot possibly give any stars absolutely appalling, an engineer was supposed to come today to set up broadband we had an e,mail to confirm rang Shell
    and was passed from pillar to post only to be told we have to install it ourselves so we tried to cancel but was told the contract started when we signed with them and would have to pay a high cancellation fee even though its not even live was on the phone for well over an hour so we are stuck into a 12 month contract and will have to pay someone to install it
    Shocking really shocking behaviour

    Had an issue with phone service. Got a message saying, call was answered but, immediately. This happened with all landline calls, but ok connecting with mobiles.

    There customer service was abysmal. Passed to 2 others and each time had to exain issue. In this day and age why can't a ticket be raised on a computer, and trouble ticket no., against which all the details logged. After holding for 20 mins, call was dropped by them. Terrible, useless customer service. Will take up with another broadband/phone service.

    Absolutely awful service. Broadband is worse than Dial up and my phone just stopped working.I tried to complain on the chatline but it got ridiculous and ended with me having to tell them I wasn't dead, on universal credit or had a house fire ! I can't wait for this appalling contract to end

    Absolutely NO!
    Bad customer service... IMPORTANT: they will give your personal information to debt collectors(with a value of £30 router) and keep harassing you when they lack OR have no communication on how to return back their router. I did tell them it's illegal to pass my personal information to a third-party debt collector without my consent... but they simply do not bother

    After switching to Shell energy, we have consistently had issues with loss of broadband connection and had low speeds - after 2 days of joining and reporting numerous faults; I've been quoted £270 to cancel.
    The telephone service is also incredibly unprofessional and should be reviewed immediately.

    I cancel my contract with shell broadband after a week.
    I have been treated unfairly,
    I had and engineer come to install the box on Wednesday 8th November 2023, I stated to the engineer that I did not want the box installed in my kitchen or bedroom, however he insisted on installing it in my bedroom, I felt at this point he was just after a quick easy job by doing this, I know it can be installed in my living room, as the previous company whom I had a contract with did it with no issue.
    Having the box in my bedroom is causing me to loose sleep as I have a severe light sensitivity and to be able to sleep I have to have a pitch black room. I wasn't advised about the amount of lights coming fliking and the sound coming from the box. when I complained, for them to turn around to me and tell me to cover the lights which I found it very insensitive and unprofessional. I have been dealing with this for a week and I am now being passed back and fourth to different people in different departments and being told different things, is purely unprofessional from a customer perspective.
    Furthermore,
    We can only connect to the WiFi upstairs where the box is located, I cannot get signal downstairs which is redundant, as my children cannot use their computer for school work.

    Therefore I cancel my contract with them and I have had all these issues in a space of my week, therefore

    This company are legalised scammers and should be shut down.
    Avoid at all costs.

    The service is shocking, from day 1 we had issues, constantly dropping and it works amazing if you only sit in the room the router is plugged in. I spend hours and hours on the phone with them, we got send 4 different models of routers as they clearly could not work out which one, we should be using. Open reach came to check twice and there was no issue on their line into the property and it still does not work. The customers services lines constantly cut you off and they do not call you back at all and you must go through the same process over and over. DO NOT USE THEM, it is not worth it, it might be a cheaper price but for the headache and drama just pay more, I have learnt my lesson. Finally won today and after weeks of just calling every day and complaining they have cancelled my contract and got a full refund back. If you have issues, just keep calling them and keep opening those complaints and don’t let them close them. There is a ‘The Communications Ombudsman’ if you can’t resolve with Shell go to them and raise a complaint with them.

    No stars.. as this is the worst broadband ever used and customer service is even worser as none of them are interested to solve your problem instead they transfer the call from one department to other and then just hang up.

    Please I request no one should choose shell as you can see the below reviews.. it is really the worst service you will ever get.

    Poor in service. Painful experience with shell broadband while moving from one location to other. Almost 2 months they took in the process and couldn't even provide me fiber connection at the end. They cancelled the service and took other fiber in less than 2 weeks. Over all shell poor in both customer service and Internet service.
