Shell's Full Fibre broadband packages do not come with a home phone line at all. This is because Full Fibre replaces any existing telephone lines that reach your home with new fibre optic cabling.

A lot of full fibre providers offer a Voice over IP (VoIP) telephone service instead of a traditional landline, but this is not something that Shell Energy Broadband currently offer.

Shell Energy Broadband provides a WiFi router at no additional cost when they activate your new broadband service. The router supplied will depend on the package you sign up for. If you sign up to Shell Energy Fast Broadband, you’ll receive a Technicolor TG588 v2. All other Shell broadband packages come with a Technicolor DWA0120.

As far as routers go, the Technicolor TG588 is a pretty basic single band router, almost every other provider offers something better, but it will still get the job done.

The Technicolor DWA0120 is a dual-band router that supports the faster 5Ghz 802.11ac standard alongside 2.4Ghz 802.11n. It also includes 4x gigabit network ports.
