Confused by utilities - swap or not?

Hi again,

I really don't know what to do as I'm totally confused by all the choices on the comparison sites.

Am I right in thinking that unless you go for a fixed tariff then there really is no point switching yet, as the new company you go with could just as easily put their prices up by 19% too, like Scotish Power (who I'm currently with).

I'm on Standard gas, pay quartely by paper bill.

I don't want to waste time switching if others think it more advisable to wait. What to do!
