eon capped tariff till oct 09 - worth it?

HI

I am currently with eon, dual fuel, on there cheapest tariff, online service and pay by a set amount each month.

Anyway - I enquired about there capped taiff till oct 09. Mainly due to the fact I have heard about massive price rises, plus you get a free energy monitor (only free if you stay on this tariff till the end)

Anyway - its going to be approx 12% more a month - which I got them to work out based on my last 12months consumption.

Should I grab this while its still available?

And note, I have never had any issues with eon.

See my post on EON PP16 at the end of the sticky on fixing. For my usage pattern, I think PP16 is viable, as I expect to make the 10% saving to offset the kwhs tariff premium.

>I have never had any issues with eon.<
Neither did I until I asked to go to 'One Bill', now my online outstanding balance has changed every day for the last week.

I'm thinking of changing to EON does anyone else have any feedback on this?

I would check as I'm with e.on Energy Saver 5 and when I phoned up I was told it would only be around 7% extra, when I checked if it included the 16% online discount and 6% direct debit he confirmed the 6% was included ... not the 16%.
I worked out it was around a 29% increase!

Well, as a existing customer, they would not allow me to use quidco, so I switched online. Martins online now on a special program so I doubt the capped deals will be online for a while. Ok - its £7 extra a month, but better that than say £30 a month.
