I have just left Atlantic gas and received my final Bill. I noticed that from 1st April gas price went down but the standing charge nearly doubled from 13.36p to 25.57p per day. As normal they tell you 8 weeks later they have changed the prices. Worth noting if you are thinking of switching.

    Haven't they reduced the number of units this applies to though? I was looking at my parents' bills recently, and I've noticed there have been some changes to the tiering system, and I think I recall the unit price had changed but the number of units it applied to had decreased?
    Indecision is the key to flexibility :)

    yeah, Swalec have made the standing charge ~25p but the unit has dropped to ~2p. If i was staying in this property I'd probabily change to a non-standing charge tarrif. Seems like a con really, but dont know if its something which happens annually.
