Fixed Discount 2010 from Southern Electric

Problem with this is these are not 'capped' prices, they are 'fixed' prices.

A Capped price should come down if general prices drop, but not rise above the capped point.

Now whilst it seems unlikely that utility prices will fall much, we said that just 2 weeks ago about petrol, but that has come down a bit in the last few days.

Are they truly tying you in, with penalties if you move, or can you take the fixed rate, but switch for free later?

That tariff from SE isnt even a fixed tariff, its misleading title that would fool people into thinking it is fixed.

Its actually the discount thats fixed, you could sign up to that one and have the prices go up by 40% and you would be stuffed.

I really think SE have done this to fool people into a tariff they think is fixed then charge them when they want to leave, AVOID!

Pluschris is correct. On this deal you are only fixed at 2% below their standard rate ,whatever that may be.
It is a shame that the Scottish and Southern group of energy companies should resort to this play on words which may fool people, as up to now they have been quite high in my estimation for customer service.
