British Gas Con

mantonh

British Gas anounced a 7% price cut on 4th Feb. I've just had my gas bill and what they haven't advertised is that they increased their prices on 1st Feb so the 7% cut was only really just under 4.5%.
They also increased their electricity prices by 3% on 1st Feb

Are you haven't come off something like a price protection tariff onto another tariff? Any price rise by the Big 6 would have been all over the news.

It was an average of 7% of core prices, the prepayment decrease was 9% and the core decrease was 5%.

I think some of the old onlines might have increased.

I think you are mistaken!

They decreased the price of their Standard gas tariff by 7%. Some of their other tariffs are linked to the Standard tariff e.g. 'we guarantee it will be x% below the standard tariff'.

Also the level of consumption can affect the percentage decrease.

More detail please.
