And i went with the cost saving...which didn't happen because the cheapest supplier was BG!Comment

The cheapest cap for most people, the Scottish Power Fixed Price Energy 2009, was pulled from comparison sites on Tuesday, but it is still available direct, though it's ending imminently and its website is experiencing problems due to heavy traffic. The cheap British Gas Price Guarantee December 2009 cap that was previously available has been replaced by a more expensive one - the Fixed Price 2011.
The only fully available one left is now from E.on. It has two incarnations: Energy Saver version 4 (free home energy monitor, but cancellation fees) and Price Protection October 2009 (no energy monitor, no cancellation fee). It's still best to do a comparison to see it's definitely cheapest for you.Comment

Tell me about it. Was stupid enough to try and nip to the supermarket in my lunch break today and the queue at the idiot-tax till was such that you had to ram through the old gimmers to get out.Guy Fawkes - "The last man to enter Parliament with honourable intentions."Comment
