Is Shell broadband any good?

We have reviews and ratings from 61 verified customers of Shell broadband.

We surveyed new customers 60 to 120 days after switching to Shell - here's what they told us:

  • Not impressed. I was unable to log in, took lots of calls to get fixed. Poor support on connection.

    Overall Satisfaction: 5/10

  • I am happy with the service, and have no issues with speed so far. I don’t use it all that much and live alone so am the only one using it. I like the cost and I like that they mostly leave me alone and don’t send a bunch of emails. It took ages to get it set up because it didn’t work at first and they acted a bit like I was stupid and couldn’t figure out how to plug stuff in or press a reset button - which was annoying. But it works now and as long as it continues to work I don’t have any issues.

    Overall Satisfaction: 8/10

  • The deal is good value for money. It has been better from the last provider. The last provider connection always dropped off.

    Overall Satisfaction: 7/10
