  • It's undoubtedly a great deal - if you can get it, if you are happy with a min 12 month tie-in and if you need that level of mobile use, of course. Oh, and if a speed cap of 4mb max. doesn't bother you. ;)

    Hilarious!
    Utility warehouse's energy price promise excludes "anyone on a Fix, Cap, Online, Prepay, or other promo tariff" ie all cheap ones

    and...............

    They're included in comparison sites for energy, people just don't see them as they're quite low down!

    Guess who said this? I know but I couldn't possibly comment!

  • I wonder if anyone can help me, I am trying to sign up to the cheap energy club but the gas suppliers only lists telecom plus the utility warehouse and then the tariffs are not what I am on with utility warehouse.

    I'd really like to sign up to this club but want to make sure I am using the correct comparators so wondered can anyone help?
  • Hello,

    I just moved house and, after a quick call to them, I decided to take them on as my provider for everything.
    What concerns me, at the moment, is the broadband speed - I am a software developer and an avid gamer - bandwidth and latency are very important to me, especially coming from a place where I was getting real 8 Mbit/s and static IP from O2.

    They claim to provide "up to 24 Mbits" and that in my area speed should be "around 10". My old O2 router had problems, so I eventually switched to my old Orange one, which is like 6 years old - with that, using the master phone socket and ethernet cable, I get a dismaying 3.3 Mbit/s in download and 0.5 Mbit/s in upload.

    I have ordered a state-of-the-art new router (because I need it anyway, for several reasons) and mailed them about this problem. If the performance won't improve, I will definitely leave them - this is going to be my long-term house, and I will not settle for anything below excellence in performance.

    Will keep you posted.

    Whats the name of your tarriff, AFAIK they only have three.

  • And should you mix and match the tariffs to get the best price (for instance Gas medium tariff and electricity low tariff) many comparison sites tend to add in the £18 annual club fee twice. Moneysupermarket does so i expect so does the MSE energy club.
