It means that your bills will go UP by £185 a year , subject to your initial usage that you put into the comparisons site being correct

It also means your gambling that atlantics prices go up MORE than 25%

Atlantic said they are the last to increase their prices and the 1st to reduce them. Will the prices be going up more then 25% do you think? i heard BG went up 30 something% and on here somewhere it said another rise in jan 09 on the cards.........If i stay with Atlantic they said they will put me on their domestic tariff which is garanteed to be 2% cheaper then the price there charging others........It's all to confusing for me

Im getting so confused with it all i think im going to stick with them - im ment to get some money back on mth 13 also so .....raaghhh confused

I'm with Atlantic too, I'm sticking with them as they have been very fair, they are definitely one of the last companies to increase prices and I'm due my months rebate (£88) in December. Not sure if the price comparisons include that rebate, as with yourself capped tariffs are showing a loss of about £180 compared with what I'm currently paying to Atlantic. If that's £180 + the £88 rebate I'd also lose then for just over a years capping I don't think it's worth it. I wasn't aware atlantic had increased prices from 1/4/08 so I'm pretty sure we need to increase our payment from the current £88pm combined to something like £110-120 pm (with most of that increase going towards electric). My next Atlantic bill is due next week so I'll see how things are looking then.

I hope you entered annual kWh consumption in the comparison site and not monthly Direct debit payments.
