Scottish Power - retention & observation on "multi-channel"

I'm currently with Scottish Power, having been on the sep 2009 fixed deal, and then switching to variable, followed by an in-progress switch to EON

Today I had a call from Scottish Power, asking me if I'd stay if they could offer a discount. I thought it was too late, but I said "if it was good enough".

Started speil, had a bad cell signal so suggested "sent me the info by email and I'll consider it".

Answer - sorry we don't do email.

Well then get a grip. It's the 21st century. You need full multi-channel support not an old fashioned outbound-call only sales call center.

Was also wondering if anyone else has been offered anything better than the latest EON fixedonline4

    The retentions people always seem so put out when you say you don't want to stop the transfer to someone else.

    I got two calls from Npower asking me to stay with them, and they seemed quite shocked (or at least fake shock) when I said I wasn't interested in hearing their "better deal".

    Mind you the bloke from e.on was better, I explained that I was leaving mostly because they'd quadrupled my DD and he was like "well I can see your point there!" :D
