    No I think that's wrong.
    Remember some of the latest price rises are not shown on the website yet.

    Do the comparison by all means and get the bottom 2 or 3.
    Then DO THE COMPARISONS BY HAND and check the latest tarriffs either on-line or over the phone.
    Mke sure you are using the latest prices and it's best if you have one years actually consumption (keep your bills for at least that long).

    You can't unfortunately rely on the comparison sites.

    Easy use a comparism service like U-Switch to find best rates.

    Then go to recommended suppliers website direct and sign up.

    Trouble with that is, many tariffs are only available if you sign up via the comparison site, if you sign up directly you pay higher tariff rates.

    The service I find the best is: http://www.energyhelpline.com/cashbackmse

    Yes, the bill will have a day (peak) rate and a night(off-peak) rate, if you are on E7.
