British Gas Monitor the market

Not sure if this item has been on Forum previously but today received a letter from British Gas stating that 'We'll monitor the market and beat the lowest standard dual fuel prices, on average use, right up until October 2011. It is called a Market Monitor Tariff. They say they will monitor what other suppliers, including nPower, EDF Energy. E.ON, Scottish Power and Southern Electric, are charging. And if their prices go down less than theirrs, we guarantee to beat them within 6 weeks.
Any comments please on whether this is a good offer?

    Don't forget this is only for 'standard' tariffs - not the much cheaper internet tariffs.
