    Has Quentin offered any evidence that anybody at all, ever, has lost out by using the UW pre payment card?

    What happens much more often is a sensible UW discussion gets interrupted by the anti's who don't like other people talking sensibly in their thread, so they then start abusing and accusing. That's far more of a problem in this thread than any distributor spam. ;)
    He's not going to Meeper. Q never does when he's cornered like the rat he is.

    Where does the abuse come from?

    Not a word of condemnation from the UW salesmen/supporters - and you talk about being disingenuous?
  • Hypocritical much? Quentin has 'form' for making unfounded allegations against at least one poster on here - I didn't see you make any comment on this at the time let alone condemn it.

    I see Q has disappeared again. Ah well. It won't be for long. By the way I got sent a note the other day that UW were reducing some of the electricity prices. I'll wait for the ridiculous comments

    I've not felt the need to respond for ages as there have been plenty of other people challenging Q to qualify his claims. However, I do still keep an eye on things and enjoy a good laugh at the antics on this forum.

    Just to let you all know, UW have now introduced a new energy tariff, part of the FIT scheme. If you have a system installed to genterate your own electricity, eg solar panels, UW will pay you an extra 2p per kW generated, ie on top of the government tariffs. All you need to do is have your electricity with UWDC. Not unreasonable considering they are going to pay you more than anyone else for what you generate.

    My solar panels go up this Friday, so I'll definitely be in a win win situation from then on.

    Can't see anything about this on their website - can you give more details please? e.g.

    Is it for all electricity(in kWh) generated? or for electricity exported? (normally assumed to be 50% of that generated)

    Is it dependant on you taking other services? or will an electricity only customer qualify?

    How unusual. Looks like genuine interest from Cardew instead of the normal outright dismissal.

    All providers have to accept FIT applications. I got as far as getting this sorted with UW before I had to back out for financial reasons.
