Scottish Power vs Ovo Energy, any advice?

Options
Hi there, I'm thinking of moving from Scottish Power now my Discounted Energey tariff has ended - I have mild dyscalculia so find the % savings etc a bit confusing. SP have offered me a continued 4% discount on their standard Economy 7 Tariff or according to energyhelpline.com Ovo Energy - New Energy Fixed could be my cheapest.

Any advice? What is ovo's customer service like? I've found SP to be so-so.

Forgot to add, I prefer DD & paper billing option!

    Have been looking at OVO too, thinking of switching to them, just need to do a bit more investigating (thats why i'm on here!)

    One thing i do know is OVO charge £20 a year for paper bills!!

    They do, but compare that with the next cheapest paper billing tariff and you will see its still much cheaper.

    I've been with Ovo for just over 3 months. I like the monthly bills that they email to me and the ability to enter your own meter readings online. I could understand your need for paper bills if they only made your bills available from their website but the emailed bills mean that I have a copy that is independent of their website.

    Cheers
