British Gas Click 2

Hi all,
I have been checking tariffs for electricity and have come across BG Click 2 where the account is handled exclusively on-line (with a premium rate help line!!).
According to my calculations I can save 25.8% :j against my present eDF "fixed until 2008" tariff... or am I missing something? :confused: (Such as BG's awful service rating?)
Any help or comments gratefully received!
CJ

    don`t quote me on this,but I`m pretty sure that this bg click 2 was mentioned in here as the cheapest dual fuel online,I have just changed as well from EDF,if you use a cashback site ie Quidco you will get £40,you may get a "normal number" if you use https://www.saynoto0870.com

    It is one of the cheapest tariffs for electricity (+£20 per fuel via quidco), you couild do better for gas, even without dual fuel discount.

    Try Martin's Energyhelpline link to compare switching savings, dual against seperate suppliers.

    There seems to be a long delay in transferring as they (BG) have been "overwhelmed".

    I would seriously advise you against going with BG. You are correct, they are probably the cheapest "FOR NOW" but when there is a problem the sevice is so poor its amazing they are still allowed to trade.

    A simple problem has taken over 11 months to sort out and as BG totally ignored all my letters (sent recorded), phone calls and even energywatch (for over 6 months!!)

    I went back with them as they offered a too good to turn down incentive offer and now i wish I had told them where to go.

    This is the second time BG has stung me. I am currently looking to switch and this time it will be for good!!
