Currently on octopus 15m fixed august 24 v1. With the news of the exclusive Eon fix to MSE, wondering whether it’s worth the switch. The comparison reckons I’ll save £75 a year after cashback, but hesitant due to octopus’s much better reputation. What are people’s thoughts?

Can't get Next Fixed 16m V1
I've logged into the cheap energy club to try and switch my tariff to the new Next Fixed 16m V1. Unfortunately I get a message saying I can't get the tariff.

My provider will only offer me a fixed rate tariff if I buy other products from them. Is this legal, shouldn’t a fixed rate be available to all non debt accounts?
