Just switched
Just switched from NPower to BG Click. The cost seems to be a lot cheaper. NPower wanted to increase my Gas payment almost 100%! I know prices have all gone up but that's ridiculous! Also some grouses I have with NP is that they never answer emails, they NEVER read meters, and I can never understand their bills!

Equigas
Have just done yet another comparison and Equigas is still coming out as the cheapest by a long way. My only query is that as they charge a flat rate of 1.94 for gas right across the board, why isn't everybody with them? This is considerably cheaper than all of the big players. Please does anyone have any experience of…
