Wh

We can only go on what you previously posted (which was that you are a uw rep) !

Yes i was as i said but i am not now. So i dont have to declare an interest now.Unless you know better.

You have form for this sort of comment you recently accused Wywth of being one when he was just responding to a post.

I ask again.Do you have any business interest in Utility Companys. If so would you like to declare it ? I cant believe anyone would waste so much time knocking one particular provider if they didnt.

No you didn't say so at all.

What you have done now you have been exposed is cynically edit your post (#2840) to make it look like you said it!

Just the sort of thing we have seen from uw reps! (eg tell us about friends having this great deal with uw)

And they wonder why they are confined to this thread.

You appear to have a bee in your bonnet about them being expensive. Not always cheapest but then again not always expensive.Just like other suppliers have good points and bad.

If you take the average UK annual consumption of 16,500kWh gas and 3,300kWh electricity in my area(Midlands) UW are 15.5% more expensive than the cheapest tariff.

Of the tariffs listed in 'energyhelpline' UW's cheapest tariff is in 56th position(i.e. there are 55 cheaper tariffs)

Perhaps you can give situations where UW are cheapest?

Any idea why energyhelpline add the £18/yr club fee in twice? Certainly on low user comparisons this makes a massive difference to the results...

I don't see that... UW (4.93p*16500)+(15.137p*3300)+£18=£1,331 and that's what energyhelpline is saying.

Could it be that energyhelpline also don't like UW's sales tactics;)

If £18 makes a 'massive difference' to the annual charge, it must be for very low user indeed!

Try it again with High User for gas and Medium User for electric (the correct tariffs). The correct figure is £1264 for existing UW customers and £1282 for new customers. Massive difference. Switching sites eh?

For every huge user like you there must also be very low users for the 'average' consumption figures to arrive at the figures they do.


Gas 6510
Electric 1011

(these are actual figures of a friend of my late father btw).

Energyhelpine figure = £505

Correct figure = £469 (existing customer), £487 (new customer). Not to mention the chance of a 10% refund after 12 months for those taking at least 4 qualifying services so potentially £439 for the new customer. And accurate monthly billing as standard. See how this affects the league table and report back.

A new year but some things never change, looking forward to the banter

I fully expect the usual diversionary post from the master of diversion shortly...
