AVOID, AVOID, AVOID….Minus 1,000,000 Stars

Complaining is a waste of time

Further to other numerous complaints about Shell Energy, here’s my final one to add to the collection. As of 01.02.22, I shall be put on the standard tariff, which means that the recent whole sale price increases in both gas and electricity will appear on my bills from that date. These increases I have to accept, just like everyone else. The percentage increases equate to 35.17% per KWh on electricity and 67.93% per KWh on gas. read more

…they are a terrible company with disgusting customer service and they made my mental health state a lot worse…

WORST COMPANY EVER!!!!!

people should stay clear of this company. I changed from Bt broadband to this company as this company was cheaper, I ran into financial difficulties and could not afford to pay my 23 pound broadband bill on the due date I rang the customer services and emailed them asking if they could please give me a 2 week extension so I could pay my bill 2 weeks later and I explained the situation and that I really needed my broadband connection to not be switched off as use it for the tv etc and suffer with mental health issues like severe depression and I don’t leave the house really because of my severe anxiety so I use the internet to keep my occupied online and stuff. anyway the advisor was totally horrible not helpful at all they told me they could not do anything at all an told me to get the money from somewhere because If I didn’t pay by the end of the day they would disconnect my broadband and I would be charged late payment fees. They was true to there word they disconnected my broadband early hours the next morning and they kept sending me emails and text messages a few times a day for the next 2 weeks demanding the £23 pound payment. I did pay it 2 weeks later but wish I didn’t they are a terrible company with disgusting customer service and they made my mental health state a lot worse for them 2 weeks read more

My broadband has failed 3 days in a row. Tried several times to call Shell – one time yesterday held in for an hour then they hung up.

Customer sales team committed to delivery dates that were in complete contrast to dates indicated in later email. Supposed to get connected 16/12/2021. Very unlikely to get connected before end of December. Batted back and forth between sales and service team. I used the cooling off period to go with BT. read more

1 star is 1 too many!

I can not give a minus review, but they definitely don’t deserve 1 star. Absolutely awful company – broadband does not even work upstairs in a 2 storey house, terrible customer service – can’t change a direct debit date – pay when they want or cut you off and if you want to leave will quite over £200 cancellation fee read more

DO NOT USE THIS AWFUL COMPANY WHO BULLY PEOPLE AND HAVE COMPLETELY INCOMPETENT PEOPLE WORKING FOR THEM. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING COMPANY WHO SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES.

DO NOT USE THIS AWFUL COMPANY WHO BULLY PEOPLE AND HAVE COMPLETELY INCOMPETENT PEOPLE WORKING FOR THEM. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING COMPANY WHO SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. They not only changed my direct debit but then blamed myself when they realised they had set up the wrong payment amount and insisted that it was my responsibility for informing them. They then left me with a 1000 plus bill before Xmas and then the bullying started, as well as awful sarcastic behaviour from staff. To top it off they then listed this bill on my credit report because I wouldn’t pay it in full, even though I have never missed a payment. Avoid them like the plague read more

Shell Broadband terrible, WiFi a joke

Reviewer Terence Fletcher: Location – Barnsley. Date 2021-12-10

Worst ever experience of dealing with any company. The service was terrible, the WiFi was a joke.

Reviewer Claire: Location – Fareham: Date 2021-12-10

Terrible service. Internet constantly dropping out. 0.5mbps speed during day with regular drops. Constant calls to be told there was no issue. After much hoop jumping Internet seemed average for a while. Now have been without Internet for 5 days. One hour each night on hold to company, during that time after 30 minutes on hold half the time the line is hung up without speaking to anyone. When I finally get through some agents are ridiculously rude and unhelpful and make me feel like it is somehow my fault and I am being unreasonable for expecting a service I’m paying for. I did speak to one lovely lady who said a ticket was raised but now 5 days have passed with no further communication, Internet is still down. Writing this review after being on hold yet again for half an our only to have the line cut off so starting the process again just to try and get a basic Internet service. Would cancel but am told that I have to pay cancellation fees despite the many months of problems and complaints. read more

I am becoming ill with the effects of this terrible broadband provider

Please, please don’t sign up for shell energy broadband. It is the most unreliable broadband I have ever used. It’s goes down ever day, and I have lost so much work and time doing rework on the internet that it is stressing me out. We have had 8mths of this nightmare and I don’t think I can take anymore. I have to find another provider no matter how much it costs. I just can’t cope anymore read more

THE WORST COMPANY EVER!

THE WORST COMPANY EVER!! 1 star is too kind. It surely is criminal that they are allowed to operate. Ongoing sagas with them since start of 2021. The staff are the most incompetent cretins to walk this earth and that’s being polite! Top it off they double your bill even although you overpay every month and are in credit! Like WTAF!!
Someone random from the company will respond to this comment saying Sorry please contact to resolve (lip service as it always is – Don’t waste your breath Shell bot employee) NEVER do business with them. read more

Verdict: Shell Broadband Customer service appalling. Internet speed useless

Reviewer: Milena: Location- London. Date 2021-11-30

Comment

Not reliable broadband, keep dropping out frequently, I was unable to have Teams meets on many occasions.

I asked to terminate my contract because of this and was told I will have to pay penalty fee!

Comment

Has ShellBroadband for a week, no WiFi, nothing. On phone for hours to idiots, and I mean idiots. New modem sent, connected today, now won’t accept password…. honestly,bit wouldn’t. One of there idiot advisor’s suggested I get on my knees, disconnect BT phone box, which I laughed at his suggestion. Finally another advisor came on phone, Ivor. 15 minutes later, sorted. Good ole Ivor. But once my contract up, never ever again. read more

Awful broadband service!

Trusted the Post Office, who no longer do broadband services, to transfer me to a decent-quality provider. But as soon as the service moved to Shell the quality instantly plummeted, slow and often barely existent especially at weekends. I really wish I hadn’t agreed to transfer to Shell broadband but having read the avalanche of appalling reviews elsewhere I don’t think I can face customer services, as apparently this does not help! read more

Shocking customer service

Shocking customer service. Having advised that a previous property was sold and given Shell Energy my new contact details they continued to send bills to the old address and then passed the collection over to a debt collection agency when the bill wasn’t paid. Have spent 90 minutes on the phone with Shell Energy trying to obtain an up to date bill having spoken to two different people and used the online chat. Extremely frustrating. read more

Just shocking

Just shocking, keep getting booted out of internet. Have to keep resetting in password. I live in the central part of Essex not a rural location at all. Even struggles with a ring doorbell

This wifi is shellish (don’t be deceived by the pun, my blood is boiling)

You know what the best part of my day is? For about ten seconds, from when I wake up and when I pick up my phone, ’cause I think, maybe I’ll load a page up and the Shell Wifi will work. read more

STAY FAR AWAY FROM SHELL!!!!

Honestly, if you’re not looking to feed their greed, avoid them! They will use their knowlege and expertise to generate massive final bills and you will get no option to opt out as they can take you to court and cause a CCJ on your name etc.

Dissatisfied with customer service read more
