    I looked at a couple of the comparing sites yesterday

    1 did not tell me that existing provider was actually cheapest if I just changed tariffs

    Anyhow I initially decided on a different company ( as a. quidco cashback & b. not happy that existing firm had just let my tariff get poor whilst introducibng a new one). Also not the next absolute cheapest ( but was not keen on the other supplier BG)

    Then go to BG ( cashback again)- input all info right down to DD info- only for their site to say error - start again.

    Sent him on his way but it has reminded me to check for the cheapest deal again.
