Issues with Shell Broadband from the start

Poor services and useless customer service
Unfortunately, I had issues with broadband from the start. I couldn’t use broadband at all in the house, In the end I was advised to get hubs which would cost my another £200 more . I don’t understand why I wasn’t getting the service. They tried to help but after 2 weeks of unsuccessful trying I end up switching to someone else. Yesterday I received the final bill which doesn’t make sense. So, I have to pay early termination fee of over £262 but why ?! Customer services explained that my cooling off period finished even before I got connected with them. It means I signed up with 2 weeks before my installation day and when I gone live – my cooling off period ended. Really ?! On the the live day – shell didn’t connected services correctly and I had to wait 4 days more for the engineer to arrive to check . List goes on! Anyway,
Now they are sending me a bill to pay for something I have never used. Which is completely wrong. I understand the person in Customer Services just following process but it’s completely ridiculous and very unfair. The customer services lady just kept apologising to me because she knew they are in the wrong but someone from higher management level didn’t authorise her to sort out my issue.
‘I spent 3 hrs holding on the phone’ waiting for Shell Energy Customer Service
Content sourced from current customer reviews of Shell Energy published on Trustpilot. 27 August 2021
I spent 3 hrs holding on the phone…
I spent 3 hrs holding on the phone waiting to speak to someone at Shell about my account. I finally came to the conclusion that no one is answering calls and they just leave you on hold, I can not believe that I was one of a lot of people hanging on that long, no one has time to do it and it messed up my day by waiting so long. I have tried to contact customer service on their website, but when you click the link to talk to someone it takes you off to a self help page. I downloaded their app and same thing, the links to customer service do not work. The account issue has come from the power company I moved from and not Shell so I only hope that when I do finally get this resolved that they will be OK to work with but right now I have moved from one company whom in my my opinion are money takers and liars to another that won’t even talk to you. Not a happy bunny!

Shell to supply green energy directly to home consumers
THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 2021 – 14:30
Dutch oil and gas giant Shell will soon start supplying Dutch home consumers with “CO2 compensated gas” and green electricity purchased from Dutch solar and wind farms. The company already received a permit from regulator ACM to start doing so, NOS reports.
Exactly how much green energy Shell plans to supply is not clear, but Barbara van Bergh, head of this division, told NOS that Shell wants to become a “significant” player.
Shell Superslow Broadband

Shell broadband started off good for the first few months, now has choked our broadband and we only get speeds of 2Mbps.
Disgusting company… broken promises, no respect, appalling customer service!
Had a perfectly working smart for 18months. Recently had another installed which not only has been done wrong, but has disconnected the one that has been working fine. On the verge of entering 3hours worth of phone calls, and still nothing has been sorted.

China Wants Huge New Green Hydrogen Plant Operational In 2023
Sun, August 22, 2021, 4:00 PMEXTRACTS
China offers promise for clean energy in a world dominated by fossil fuel-driven hydrogen projects through its new green hydrogen mega-plant.
China is planning a huge green hydrogen project using solar and wind power for its Inner Mongolia region. A cluster of plants will be constructed in the cities of Ordos and Baotou, expected to use 1.85 GW of solar power and 370 MW of wind power to produce approximately 66,900 tonnes of green hydrogen every year, according to the Hydrogen Energy Industry Promotion Association.
Terrible Customer Service from Shell Energy
Content sourced from a current customer review of Shell Energy published on Trustpilot. 23 August 2021
Trying to move your contract to a new home is a nightmare. Chat bots that copy and paste basic answers and customer service phone call takers who obviously don’t know what they are doing.
Passed over and over to different departments.
It’s quite simple, I’m moving tomorrow and would like to submit some readings for my new house.
It’s not rocket science.
My gas meter has suddenly gone into reverse: Called the customer service centre in outer Mongolia…
Content sourced from a current customer review of Shell Energy published on Trustpilot. 21 August 2021
I submitted readings for gas and electricity last week. Looked on my account, only to find that my gas charge was minus £1.18. the bill states that the charges are based on an actual readings.
If that is correct, then that must mean my gas meter has suddenly gone into reverse. Called the customer service centre in outer Mongolia, only to find that it is a system error. This is the second time in a few months. Clearly, the system that Shell use is not up to the task. I makes me wonder if any of my past bills have been correct.
Terrible customer service at Shell Energy

Terrible customer service & accounting practices
Easily one of the worst companies I’ve ever had to deal with. When Sell Energy took over Green Star Energy they failed to properly transfer over my account. When asking for a final bill they tried to backdate it over 2 years prior despite the fact that payments had been made. I have been passed from team to team, had someone from customer support pretend the phone line was bad to not deal with this ticket, and had multiple email chains go dead from their end. I have provided bank statements, proof of ownership/residence and 3+ months on this is still not resolved. Might be the worst customer experience I’ve ever had to go through. Would not recommend as a utility provider to anyone

Very slow Shell Energy broadband speeds
OMG what absolute conmen promise 40 to…
OMG what absolute conmen promise 40 to 70 Mbps now the company is telling me 28 Mbps is good enough because they say that they sent an email, what sneaks in another email I could down to 20Mbps if the email even arrives. avoid like the plague they are tied in with Talk Talk. Oh and they think 0 Mbps is ok and I should accept it
