Shell Energy Shell Energy Broadband Network: how to check speeds and availability
Shell Energy broadband network uses the Openreach network provider to deliver internet connectivity.
You can check its availability in your area by inputting your area code into the postcode checker. If you’re not getting the right speed in your location, you can estimate the speed by conducting the speed checker test on their website. This post will help you check where Shell’s broadband network is available and its speeds.
What network does Shell broadband use?
Like other well-known broadband Internet providers, shell energy broadband uses the Openreach G. Fast network as its energy provider. Openreach installs and maintains all the cabling, street cabinets, and connections to the local exchanges. This network provider gives stable connections.
As an added value, the network provider G. Fast improves the speed available on the Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) connections. As a result, Shell Energy broadband packages have been boosted to Ultrafast speeds from superfast speeds.
Not only that.
This boost doesn’t require a full fibre installation. However, some of these packages don’t quite have full coverage yet. Nonetheless, they’re great options for fast internet speed on a budget if you can access them.
Where is Shell’s broadband network available?
Shell’s broadband network of different packages is collectively available in over 35 Million premises in the UK. The broadband network is found in the following cities and villages in the UK:
- Leeds
- Norwich
- Plymouth
- Glasgow
- Edinburgh
- Manchester
- Cardiff
- Birmingham
- London
Nonetheless, you’ll need to input the postcode of a particular area in Shell Energy’s postcode checker to know if Shell’s broadband is available in the area.
Shell’s broadband network doesn’t cover the entire UK. This lack of network coverage is partly because their network provider doesn’t have a nationwide network.
So, services like Superfast Fibre and Superfast Fibre Plus are unavailable in all locations.
The shell company is well known for providing petroleum, gas, electricity, and water across UK homes. The Network services, since acquired in 2018, have been a big hit in the network provider industry in the UK.

The Ultrafast fibre gives an average speed of 145Mbps to 290Mbps and is suitable for small organisations. Finally, the full fibre plan offers an average speed of 109Mbps to 944Mbps and is suitable for large organisations.

Shell broadband network: check available speeds in your area

Shell broadband speed tests are estimated based on a wired connection to your router.
So, connecting your device via an Ethernet cable is advisable while keeping other devices disconnected when you want to conduct the speed checker test. You should also connect your router to the test socket to bypass your internal wiring.
Doing these will ensure accurate speed results when you conduct the speed checker test.

- The distance between your home and the telephone exchange
- Wi-Fi connection
- The quality of your phone line
- Electrical issues
