Shockingly poor broadband service and even worse customer service. Unethical. A complete disgrace

07 Jan 2022

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

Not even worth one star

The worst I’ve ever seen. Wifi drops and won’t reconnect for up to an hour (so far) no matter what I do, you have to stand next to the router for a strong connection, calls made with wifi drop randomly and either don’t reconnect or reconnect and are then patchy and bad quality and you can’t use it for games or calls if another person in the house is doing the same. Absolutely terrible company and I’d advise anyone who’s thinking about getting with them to look literally anywhere else. read more

Shell Energy a Terrible company, avoid at all cost!!!!!

12 Nov 2021

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

Don’t set up account with them they will scam you !!!

Terrible company, avoid at all cost!!!!! They couldn’t set up my account for 10 months which means I couldn’t pay any bills for all this period, on top of that they set up a wrong tariff and charged me more for energy. Randomly after 10 months, they send me a bill for £539 and demand to pay it immediately and contact them immediately to solve the case because they charge me too much, and they pass on my details to the debt collector Zinc. Now they are harassing me with calls and letters, and Shell is not replying to my emails when I ask them when I will receive the correct bill! They just clearly don’t care they only care about money and will use all tactics to scare you to pay even when they know they made loads of mistakes along the way. Funny they couldn’t set up my account for 10 months even longer when I look at the time when I opened an account online, but they passed my detail to the debt collector company in 2 weeks !!!!!! Total scammers. read more

Shell rebrands Hudson Energy as it continues to expand its offer to businesses

Shell rebrands Hudson Energy as it continues to expand its offer to businesses

Hudson Energy is to rebrand as Shell Energy, a year after the utility arm of the international O&G major acquired it.

The move comes as Shell Energy looks to expand its offer to businesses across Britain it said, including its 100% renewable electricity offering.

Hudson Energy’s existing customer contracts – around 200,000 as of 2019 – will not be changed, and their supply will not be interrupted. But they will be able to access natural gas, green gas and other bespoke cleaner energy solutions, Shell Energy said. read more

I think the CEO’s surname is quite…

I think the CEO’s surname is quite fitting with how this bogus company operates. Mr Crooks! How ironic. Stop chasing people for money you are not owed, making up sums and ruining peoples lives. You should be ashamed of yourselves!

SLOWEST BROADBAND SPEEDS EVER! DIAL UP IS FASTER!

We moved to shell energy with just the basic plan but their “fast broadband” is a joke! If I used a dongle or dial up it could not be any slower! It can take my laptop from 45 minutes to over an hour to load up. I thought it might be my laptop but I went and bought a new one but no difference! They sent us anew modem but again no difference, still taking up to an hour to load up on a morning! When it does load it it is constantly freezing. Apparently although it says you are getting the right speeds going in, it depends on what actually comes into our house and they might not be the same! In our case they are not! The phone rang once the other day then rang off. Then they email a couple of day later and say we tried to contact you but to no avail!!!! WHAAT! I am still waiting for them to actually contact me and sort out the issue! had I known they were the same as TALK TALK I would never have signed up with them! read more

Shell Energy unveils carbon offset Go Further tariffs

Alice Grundy Junior reporter, 02 Jun / 2020 15:38

Shell Energy has launched two new tariffs, both of which, it says, are to be carbon neutral.

The ‘Go Further’ tariffs are to provide carbon neutral electricity and gas, relying on certified carbon credits from projects that protect or enhance forests around the world for their carbon offset status.

Each carbon credit, it said, represents the avoidance or removal of one tonne of CO2 and is to be subject to a third-party verification process. read more

71% of Yorkshire people are thinking of buying electric cars

YORKSHIRE and Humberside has reached a tipping point when it comes to electric cars, with the majority of consumers in the region (71%) now ‘considering’ purchasing one for their next vehicle.

Of those surveyed in Yorkshire and Humberside who said they would consider an EV as their next car, 81% stated that a desire to ‘do their bit for the planet’ made an EV more appealing. read more

Todays standout Shell Energy review on Trustpilot

Worst company!

This company is employees liars and greedy people. They lie to get commission and trick people into going for expensive tariff.
SAVE your TIME and GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!
They do not care about the elderly, the single parents or any vulnerable customers.
Speaking to them on the phone is a nightmare.
Nothing they say is consistent across the business. It’s actually RIDICULOUS! These guys will go bust and crumble very soon.
They work with ACN who lie elderly to joining them in the most EXPENSIVE TARIFF and also tariff that have and home bundle are SCAM! They claim you get a free goody but if you look at your tariff rate. ITS RIDICULOUSLY HIGH! You pay for the item via Standing charges and unit rates. GREEDY! read more
