Had a phone call this afternoon from British Gas. I changed supplier about a year ago and they wanted to know why --- "because the new lot are cheaper" says I.
Well, the British Gas guy was cock-a-hoop .... he assures me that they are the cheapest and can save me money. I had nothing much to do for a few minutes so thought I would humour him.
We work through our figures -- my payments, payment method and usage --- then he goes all quiet on me --- unusual for a salesman....
Turns out British Gas was £124 a year more expensive!!!!!
Tw*t

I can never understand why the main suppliers are not the cheapest.
From the savings you just quoted, me thinks I need to do a rethink. :-/

Just changed to Scottish Power on a 12 month fixed price deal.
It will be a hell of a long cable from Scotland to here but, as long as it's cheaper, who cares?? :) ;D

I think most of us will have to go to capped prices.., unfortunately they don't do caps for 10 years lol.

prob is all the bloody suppliers offer different usage options making it very difficult for direct comparison

But if you enter your annual usage for both fuels it compares based on the annual cost taking all this into account - so you don't have to worry about all the gimmicks and small print.

I heard on the radio tonight.....that if you can get a fixed deal for a year.......even if its more expensive by 5% at the moment then do it.....reporter said you'd be laughing at the savings you'd be making.

trying to cap mine right now but eon web site is down for maintenace ::)...
do you think that has anything to do with EDF announcing price rises in the news tonight? :o

I noticed that uswitch kept crashin last night...
Yup - capped/fixed rates one about £70/year more than mine at the moment, but might change before they drop the deal. I think the best you can get was till end of 2010?
Mine's fixed till end of this year (BG Fix'n'Fall), but looking very carefully...
