    looks like this unjustified perception is going to stick no matter what!

    oh well I might as well embrace it then

    Ask yourself - What would SY01 do ?

    Try calling the new provider and suggest a 60 month term

    check this:

    Pioneer Energy

    They look ok to me. It's not like the energy companies don't make enough profit as it is!
    A muppet and their money can do what they want. When they go belly up don't come crying because I will just say told you so....

    Fix for 12 months, so you can ask us again in a year.
    Not sure why you care about opinions of random people of the Internet tho, I don't even stay in UK long enough to pay gas bulls of my own. How about you save on your bills by relocating to Majorca?

    6 weeks with British Gas after the last small supplier went belly up cost me the equivalent of £600....

    There is a reason why most people use the big 6, if you don't when they go belly up (and chances are they will if they offer cheap prices) you are shafted.
