    Poor is the word. In this day and age the service should be excellent with no need for lengthy problem solving, interference ? use wired connection? and so on. Automatic changeover from PO broadband such a shame.

    Absolutely disgusting customer service rang them over 10 times to fix a problem they had caused,
    Every Time a new agent was passed on to me they came up with a new way to screw me over and said the agent before them hadn't written it down to what the discussion was before, they have charged me triple my plan, THEN Forced me to pay £190 for the direct debt they messed up and even admitted too! they've owed me £40 i have an email proving they would add it to my account 3 months later still nothing done about it but more excuses, the last straw for them was when i was contacted by a payments department agent and she even admitted that sometimes they dont know what they doing and that the company isnt perfect. Great member of staff you have there shell. But i think they need more training. Customer service is so shocking

    AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!

    Just awful, the internet keeps dropping and it takes forever to come back online. I have to keep resetting my router! I will never use this internet provider again!

    I started using Shell Broadband in 2023. It didn't start well with poor router equipment, but they did rectify this by sending a couple of router extenders. We moved home early 2024 and I had several discussions with them early December about the move and the importance of it being live by mid-January. I was assured multiple times it would be done. This didn't happen. Several phone calls, emails and personal expense to bridge the gap later we seemed to be getting somewhere with a new date of 1st Feb for activation. I get a call on January 30th to say that they wouldn't be able to provide broadband to my property AT ALL and thus had to cancel the order entirely. Leaving me with no broadband already for 2 weeks, and probably another 2 weeks to activate with someone else. Absolutely diabolical service no matter which department you ended up speaking to. Steer clear.

    We have been with shell,for several years.
    Each year there is a price rise, which is ok.
    However to stay with them you need to call them,this is just ridiculous as everything else is done online.
    Even though they claim to have rang you on both home and mobile phones,also emailed us.
    Complete lies.
    This year, was fed up,changed for a better deal without a landline, suggest you do the same.

    The first bill will charge you for when your fibre connection is installed which is not clearly explained.
    This mean my first bill charged for an extra 18 days before the fibre connection went live.
    You will have to waste a lot of time challenging this practice to get a refund for hidden costs
    In hindsight, it's better to pay more for a more reputable supplier

    Honestly never had worse connection that with this so called broadband, I had better internet connection 15 years ago when I lived in the countryside and the local travellers had stolen the copper phone lines. Don’t even bother signing up, you will barely be able to watch a YouTube video.

    In my first property there were connection issues, they wanted me to pay for the engineer to come out I said no but the charged me anyway.
    Then I moved house and gave them the 1 month notice as they asked for, for them to cancel my order two days before I moved, and ask me to wait another 3 weeks for installation. A colleague of mine is having issues with them too and they just don't own up to their mistakes. Worst company I've had to deal with.
    0/10 do not recommend.
