Can anyone clarify Martin's "rule of thumb"?
For which he says that a fixed deal within 15-20% of new capped rates may be worth considering. I'm assuming by that he means a total cost (for both gas and elect, where dual supply) of no more that 15-20% higher than cap, as each component part (gas unit/standing, elect unit/standing) is likely to be different. Would that…

Pleased I didn't listen to Martin's advice re not to fix in January and rely on the price Cap.
I knew I was coming off of a fixed rate deal on 8th March, and in January started panicking about what to do when this fixed rate deal was ending. The advice being given was to go onto a capped rate, as fixed rate deals will be more expensive. Very pleased I checked first. I spoke to Eon in January 22, who said that I can…
