Do comparisons factor in August's rate rise? (and an NPower query)
If I'm looking at Money Supermarket and it's telling me that I can save £30, over the course of a year, versus my current E.On tariff has it already factored in the British Gas rate rise in August? Or is it comparing the most competitive tariff to the rate which I am currently paying? To add a little more context, my fixed…

Tiers of joy for British Gas?
When I checked my recent Websaver 11 bill using British Gas's quoted tariff details and discounts, I calculated the electricity cost as 49p cheaper than BG did (using the exact same rounding). :o I was going to ignore this small difference until I got to thinking how many customers BG has and the overall effect of…

Is NPower being disingenuous?
I have *JUST* switched to an NPower fixed rate deal. One thing I noticed in the letter after switching is that they vary the threshold for the cheaper gas/electric tariff based on the time of year.
