Absolutely abysmal shocking customer…

Absolutely abysmal shocking customer service. They just keep moving the goal post, no response to your complaint. As a vulnerable person they have no concern whatsoever for you. I contacted Shell in June and the complaint is still unresolved. If you try to call them you just wait for hours and get knowhere, waiting to get this complaint resolved and then I can leave this appalling company. All the profits they make but they treat people like animals. read more

Please, everybody, take the time to report this company to the communications ombudsman(I am) They are an utter shambles. I’ve tried contacting them for over 3 weeks now without success. I’m not bothering with them anymore. Leave and go somewhere else. Any other provider has to be better than this shower.

My internet connection was absolutely appalling, it kept disconnecting from the internet to the point that after *many* phonecalls to Shell they sent out an engineer. The best he could do was to make a second frequency available to connect to and that kept dropping off too! Do *not* go with shell if you want a good internet connection!

Don’t use their broadband service

Don’t use their broadband service, drops out on a regular basis and the customer service is shocking. Often have to wait in excess of 50 minutes to speak to anyone!

Date of experience: 10 November 2022

Absolutely horrendous service

Absolutely horrendous service. Without Broad band for 6 weks refunded for 2 and then charged for 8. Customer service personel do not have a clue and are rude and patronising. Still no resolution 3 months on so I have left. read more

Broadband reliability is nonexistent. lose the signal about 50 times a day. will phone these arseholes tomorrow and cancel my dealings with them. I am sure they won’t miss me but I am sure there are probably thousands of people who think like me.

This bunch of incompetent, inept idiots took over my fathers broadband from the Post Office. Due to illness in July I cancelled his contract and was told that 13 days of his monthly fee would be reimbursed STILL NOT RECEIVED. A month later they reopened his account and took £40, raised the issue with them, guess what STILL NO REFUND. On 4 occasions I have requested a returns label to send their router back, guess what NO RETURNS LABEL SENT. They have now charged £35 for the router, which I couldn’t return as they do not have the capacity to do something as simple as send out a returns label. Look for a bunch of incompetent cowboys to provide your broad back, they’ll still be better than Shell. read more

No response after a super human effort to reach Shell Energy broadband

I have tried more times than I can remember to reach Shell Energy Broadband. I cannot reach anyone and have emailed, completed forms and phoned many times but remains unanswered. @Currys – you should not be recommending broadband providers whose service is this poor. Please help! read more

DONT GO WITH SHELL – it should have zero stars. A series of looping automated online systems and a call back system that was designed to call me and instantly hang up meant it was almost impossible for me to get through to make a complaint. When I did I found out that Shell Customer Services is outsourced to a company or companies with employees in other countries who have no interest at all in Shell’s reputation or indeed providing a service to their customers. I was given a series of contradictory instructions re returning a router which I had done using the original label provided when I joined 3 years ago. I suspect that the address on the labels then has now changed – whatever I was charged for a router anyway because it supposedly failed to arrive. Four weeks had lapsed and by this time I had lost the proof of sending. To actually send that proof now would be extremely difficult since as above the looping system is designed to make it impossible to fill the boxes to enable you to submit a communication.

DO NOT USE SHELL

DO NOT USE SHELL. We have had the worst internet connection for months now and have even had to upgrade our phone contracts just to get online. We have contacted shell several times, who have done absolutely nothing to resolve the issue. They are now trying to charge us 273 as an early termination charge which I refuse to pay as I will not pay for a product that DOES NOT WORK!! LEAVE ME ALONE SHELL!!

I am a shell broadband customer. The customer service is appalling and everyone I have spoken to has been disinterested and unsupportive. Definitely wouldn’t recommend them.: “Terrible company. A real joke…”

I am a shell broadband customer

I am a shell broadband customer. It is a cheaper provider and you get what you pay for. The customer service is appalling and everyone I have spoken to has been disinterested and unsupportive. Definitely wouldn’t recommend them. No app either and it just redirects to the browser which is ridiculous in this day and age. read more

My basic problem with Shell is that every time I call, I’m on the line for 40 – 50 minutes, most of it ‘on hold’: “Actually speaking to a human is near impossible unless you have a spare 2hrs to spend trying to get through.”

Called to renew /upgrade contract. After agreeing I recieved two emails first with confirmation of 18 month instead of 12 month. Second email telling I am coming to the end of my contract soon and info on continuing price and an offer higher then just agreed. Customer service person spoke garbled english and had no clue after 23 minutes about my new contract. Then cut me off. Absoultely useless CS. read more

Broadband – Cheap, but very very nasty! Cut my service off in error and will not communicate or advise any updates on restoration, a number of emails to customer service and members of the Executive team (Ed Kamm, Alexander Constatine, Tony Keeling, Andy Davies) have been ignored!

now 7 days and counting without a Broadband service and no idea when it will be restored… Take my advice – DO NOT USE read more

Abysmal service

Abysmal service. Cannot get through to speak to someone who can actually assist. Biggest regret switching to Shell broadband. They do not care about the customer at all! Broadband was supposed to go live 08 August. Eventually sorted 12th August. Received a bill for more than what was quoted even though I had no service initially. Not a happy customer. Can somebody at Shell broadband please actually help?? read more

If I could leave no stars I would. Please avoid this company, I wish id have known just how awful they were but I thought being owned by Shell they would be trustworthy. They are unprofessional incompetent and worst of all unscrupulous. You anyone but SHELL ENERGY

The worst customer services

Shell energy broadband customer services are a disgrace. An on going saga of no service for 3 months, and even the complaints team cannot be bothered to call back at the time they arrange. Despite promises to stop taking payments, money is still deducted from my account. Engineers are sent who can’t fix anything and by their own admission are not trained to do the job they are sent to do, so many days work are lost waiting at home for their visit. Shell then have the audacity to charge you for a visit that that have sanctioned and require without any acceptance of costs or terms and conditions. Managers do not call back despite assurances that you will get a call. I would suggest that you avoid this internet service provider unless you have hours and hours to spend on hold on the telephone, or days and days to wait in for inadequate engineers, and you have no need for any Wi-Fi and you enjoy listening to lies and fairy tales. read more

EXTRACTS FROM THE RECENT REVIEWS (DISPLAYED IN FULL BELOW THE EXTRACTS):

‘Can’t even login to my account. Was transferred to Shell when Post Office sold their phone and broadband to them last year. They must be the most incompetent providers on the market. Deal ends soon so I’ll be outta here!’: ‘Shell Energy are absolutely clueless and appear to know nothing about phones and customer service is certainly not their forte.’: ‘The worst company I have ever dealt with. Had no broadband since 20 May ( now 14 July). No explanation from Shell. They have not responded to letters or on- line attempts by myself. You wait on phone until you give up. Dreadful company.’: ‘Switched to Shell Energy Broadband. Lost my internet connection. Met with a wall of silence from customer services…’: ‘Disgusting customer service. In short I have had major issues with internet connection and phone line; the problem has mainly been since Shell took over from Post Office. Interrupted internet for 4 months and very slow or no connection for long periods…’: Do not use this company, you have been warned! worse than TalkTalk, Blatent lies about speeds…’ read more
