    Does that mean my area does not have the price fix option - do I have to choose dual fuel to be able to get the 2011 option.....confused!

    Ah - are you selecting "I only want to compare gas/ electricity" when you are comparing one?

    I only have electric and signed up to the SP 2011 scheme about a month ago (just completed)

    AFAIK the fix is available accross the entire mainland UK, just at slightly different prices.
    :confused: I have a poll / discussion on Economy 7 / 10 off-peak usage (as a % or total) and ways to improve it but I'm not allowed to link to it so have a look on the gas/elec forum if you would like to vote or discuss.:cool:

    Just found out what I have done wrong - if I select electricity it gives me the 2011 option, if I select dual fuel it gives me the 2011 option.....however if I select gas only it doesn't give me the option.

    Thanks MP for the help.

    another question heere? anyone else on EDF Online V3. called them up last week to see if they do any fixed prices (they dont at the moment apparently!), but the guy said i was on the lowest rate so cheaper for me to stay on that at the moment.

    We've been with edf for about 3 years, and they are brilliant! MY bills haven;t really gone up much switched to DD about a year ago £32 a month - this hasn;t changed at all. Just wondering whether to go for the fixed SP deal -i really like the idea of fixing rates on everthing so you kind of know where you are!
    anyone else changed from edf?

    Seems you can't get gas only price fix. Either electric only or dual fuel.

    I only wanted Electric moved to them from BGas, as my gas will stay with Ebico for now.

    Hopefully preaching to the converted here!

    I take it these changes in DD ammount had been a result of you providing ACTUAL readings and not just based on supplier estimates?

    Having read this thread I've switched from BG Dual Fuel Online 5 to SP, an increase of 15% in my case but with a 10% rise expected from BG in the summer and a further 15% in Jan 2009 plus heaven knows what's to come between then and Feb 2011 I believe it it best to take the long term view. I've always gone for the cheapest option using the price comparison sites but I am now of the view that it's a waste of time and as things have panned out I'd have been better off taking a fixed price tarriff a long time ago.

    I took the same view with the mortgage in April 2006 and took a 10 year fix at 4.69% so the savings I'm currently making there are more than enough to cover the extra £10 a month on the Gas and Electric for the next 3 years. As has been stated, you can jump ship at any time if things improve but the way things are at the moment I very much doubt that will be necessary.

    Now if only I could find a fixed price deal on petrol and diesel.:think:

    It worked out well with us going EDF (SWEB) beginning of 2005 Online V1. That really did make some huge savings. However this time it's at least one utility going fixed.
