    I'm guessing they would be the 'current prices' quoted in the OP :D

    :o:o Apologies to NittyGritty

    Anyway I thought Ebico had no plans to increase their prices? ;)

    IIRC they benchmark against SSE.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    They certainly get their fuel from them, that's for sure.

    I had that th_Skull_zps03a70815.gifletter!!!

    It was envitiable as they tend to say we have no plans to increase prices when SSE announce theirs but tend to follow a little later!!!

    Following my calculations, my electric day up 16.2%, night 11.7%. (economy 7)

    Gas up 10.5%

    If they benchmark against SSE, how can they say that it is still ethical to implement a bigger increase than SSE?

    I got the letter today aswell.

    I have done a comparison and I could save £40 a year moving to N Power but it is on a tariff with a standing charge.

    I only use around £250 of gas a year and, like most, this is mostly through the winter months so a standing charge tariff would end up costing me more in the summer months.

    Not sure what to do so might just stay with them.
    Cashback earned
    Quidco : £858 :)
    Pigsback : £20 and a Beatles CD.

    Low electricity user here (Pay about £300 a year), even with the price rises they re still one of the cheapest for me, I would rather pay an extra fiver a year to stay away from the big 6
