Ebico don't charge more for those on prepayment meters, If you are a low user as well they may be worth looking at.

If you have just changed from a paper token meter to a key meter, it is possible that your old meter had old price on it, but your new one has current prices.
look at the meter screens to see the price of electricity (p/kWh) (I & K I think).
If you have a year's consumption, use that in a comparison site, if not you could guess ('average' is 3300), but when you get your results, compare the unti price with that on your meter.
