Theo from Shell Energy absolute star

Theo from Shell Energy was absolutely amazing with setting up my internet where others in his team had failed and left me without internet for 3 weeks. He was pleasant to speak to, he wasn’t going to give up until I had internet.

Everything just went smoothly

I haven't had any need to contact customer services, so can't comment on how they deal with problems - and that's why I'm giving them 5 stars. After having nightmare experiences with other providers (Three being the worst) I signed up for Shell Energy broadband and the process was really easy. They gave me a live date, the router arrived a couple of days before and on the live date the internet started working and has been fine since. Sounds basic, should be basic, but so many broadband providers get it wrong, so it's really nice to be able to report a positive experience.

My Broad band went from slow to stop during the afternoon. I am very pleased with the help that Aida T

Mixed review

Mixed review - I have decided to leave Shell Energy as we had come to the end of our contract. Cheaper options are available and as we had often experienced WiFi dropping out in rooms away from the router (e.g. when watching catch up tv), I thought worth a change. I called up to cancel the contract, as my new provider does not take over the phone line. Mohammed H was very helpful in resolving this for me, especially in the circumstances, where I would have been subject to additional punitive charges as I was about to go onto the out-of-contract pricing, because the line takeover had not been organised by the providers. Thank you Mohammed.

About ten days of stress!

From when I was told my broadband was active I had nothing but trouble and stress in trying to activate it! I was informed that it was a fault on the line then informed it was fixed and I could connect but still no joy! After being told again and again how to connect over many calls I was told if the fault was mine I would be charged a penalty! I began to worry it must be me!... to be brief it was your fault and it's now up and running! The lady who dealt with me was extremely understanding and concerned. She put me at ease and was a credit to you in every way! I thank her for her professional conduct!...and so to bed!

Query regarding my bill

I rang Shell to query my bill and spent a lengthy period waiting on hold. Unfortunately my query wasn’t resolved and the assistant submitted a complaint form on my behalf. A short period after the call I received an e mail saying the complaint was closed! I subsequently rang to query this and spoke to Kurt. He immediately resolved my original query and apologised for the error on the bill and the inconvenience caused.

Possible scam

Tried the call centre several times before managing to cancel our contract. I was called back by someone claiming to be from the call centre but he tried the "say yes" scam on me.

Quick and efficient response

Reasonably fast response time for a Saturday. Operator Aida T was polite, very knowledgeable, solved my problem and remained on the call until the problem was solved.

Zlatko was great - not sure about Shell Energy!

I have been having problems with my wi-fi for a while and have had little help or support. I was then lucky enough to speak to Zlatko, who was brilliant. He went through everything step-by-step and explained clearly what to do and why. Unfortunately, a few days later, a couple of my devices have stopped working and I cannot get them to recognise the network. Zlatko deserves 5 stars for his help, patience and support. I have dropped a star due to the fact I have now got to get back to shell energy to try and get things working again.
