I assume he means the essential tariff

Most suppliers offer a social tariff to those most in need (terms differ by supplier)
You can have a bill as low as £1 a day or less even without such a tariff. It all depends on how much you use."Now to trolling as a concept. ....

It's certainly possible to get below a £1 a day over the year but to do so in winter is difficult. Note he is also saying 'as little as' suggesting it is not the norm. Cheap doesn't mean comfortable so it seems he might have managed to spin his answer.

Note the price comparison is a 'normal' comparison and the six links jump to the wrong page ?0
