ISP Shell Energy UK Launch Ultrafast G.fast Broadband Packages
Energy provider and UK ISP Shell Energy has become the latest provider to introduce a new range of “ultrafast fibre” broadband packages, although instead of going with FTTP they seem to initially be launching using only Openreach’s hybrid fibre G.fast network that is no longer being deployed at scale.
As usual the new packages all include a wireless router, 18-month minimum contract term, free activation, unlimited usage, copper line rental with standard call rates (PAYG) and an engineer installation.
At the time of writing Shell’s new Ultrafast Fibre page doesn’t appear to mention what service speeds (average) each package delivers (except for 290Mbps in the small print on their top tier) and so we’ve opted to list the typical averages below, which roughly reflects what other ISPs offer for the same G.fast tiers.

We’ve also listed Shell’s existing ADSL and FTTC based broadband packages below, which have some included extras as part of the current promotion (the bonus devices will be available to order until 5th October 2020).
