E-on gas/electricity - new cheaper tariff - Focusless

Namely Online 6 - same as Online 5, which I changed to about a month ago, but with a slightly higher 'online discount'. Thing is, in the Online 5 info it says there 'may' be a £30 charge for swapping to another tariff, but I can't find out whether this would be applied or not if I switched now.

I've emailed them (phone number busy), but it will probably take a few days to get a reply, and it says there's limited availability for Online 6. Anyone already tried switching?

They just rang me - no charge for canceling the Online 5 unless switching to another supplier.

Is Alanovich still around? IIRC he also switched to Online 5.

In answer to www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?t=126&m=2870&v=e
Yes - I did it online.

When they rang to tell me there was no charge for changing, I asked why it wasn't explained on the website, and was told effectively 'well if we said that everyone would do it' :-)

Just got a bill - from being £120 in credit 3 months ago, we're now £130 in debit; usage cost went up from £280 to £460 :(

EDIT: despite the cheaper tariff!

Even on the lower tariff? Crumbs. Winter effect, I suppose. It's been chilly in these here southern parts, eh?

Actually I've just noticed that the latest direct debit went in just after the bill arrived so it doesn't look quite so bad now, but the way the usage has shot up is a bit of a shock.

Roll on summer...

E-on gas/electricity - new cheaper tariff - smokie

My leccy usage (not cost) over 12 months to Jan was 13% down on last year. I don't recall changing much except turning off unused lights more.

Be careful smokie they'll get it back.

Our water and electric bill is merged together here in Germany. Our usage went down from 120€/month to 107. We now have a new charge...for rain water removal. Coming to a town hall near you soon ?

It has been calculated at 400€ per year =:-O
We have a single driveway and a garden path, the rest is garden which soaks the water up and feeds a 30ft pine tree.
