    Its not a big con lol, gas price are linked to the price of oil, and since the majority of companies use gas to create electric the price increase as defo going to happen, its just a matter of when, if you have got yourself a capped/fixed deal youve saved yourself a good lump of money :0

    I took a look at these deals, its 4p extra per unit that we are paying for now.

    Thats alot to be paying if the market stays the same, and you have signed into a deal that you cant leave.

    For the moment, a 1year deal is not good enough, though the move to pre-payment meters maybe.
