Hike away. Feed and engorge yourself all winter. Bon apetit.

Looks like they have left the online saver tariffs alone (at least I hope they have; I'm on version 5)

Oh God its started...

In fairness this isn't so bad, its the gas prices that really knacker people in Winter. They will take a right hammering if they repeat the trick from last Winter of price rises before cold weather and small price cuts after.

I just hope it isn't seen as a greenlight by others to do whatever they want.

I'ts probably been driving them mad that they weren't able to initiate the hikes they'd planned in what was it? 2009 or the beginning of this year?

Regardless, I suppose they figure they've waiting long enough. Time to recoup any perceived profit loss. Dang recession, making them wait.
