Since then we\u2019ve heard very little from them and they&#8217;ve yet to launch any ultrafast broadband plans.<\/p>\n<p>However, back in late October 2020, a report indicated that Shell Energy, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/bskyb\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Broadband<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a> had all expressed some level of interest in acquiring the Post Office&#8217;s telecoms base, but at the time it was unclear which held the strongest position.<\/p>\n<p>Today <a href=\"https:\/\/news.sky.com\/story\/shell-in-exclusive-talks-to-swoop-on-post-office-broadband-arm-12154235\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sky News<\/a> has reported that Shell Energy, which is home to around 130,000 broadband customers and was only fairly recently established (in 2018) through the acquisition of First Utility, has emerged as the &#8220;<em>preferred bidder<\/em>&#8221; in the process. Both Shell and PO have declined to comment.<\/p>\n<p>Both providers hold a similar position within the market and have similar products, although Shell has also launched a number of ultrafast packages and they may benefit from greater take-up of their energy products. One potential issue here is that the PO&#8217;s telecoms base is significantly larger than Shell&#8217;s and so the latter would need to rapidly scale-up their support teams in order to cope (not so easy), otherwise any migration could be a very choppy ride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A report claims that UK ISP and energy provider Shell Energy has now emerged as the preferred bidder for the Post Office&#8217;s telecoms division, which specially relates to its base of around 500,000 broadband and phone customers that is currently said to be valued at c.\u00a3100 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20731,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[472,113,74],"class_list":["post-25118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-business","tag-postoffice","tag-talktalk"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
