    which part of the country do you live in? whats your annual statement for energy useage?

    with both of those you can go to a comparison website , but the choice is down to you - do you want to pay more now for a long term fixed price? or pay less but for a price that will go up (or down)

    As you said, Martins advice was to switch & fix (or cap)

    If the Eon deal is a fixed/capped rate, then why are you considering a more expensive deal?

    If the E.on deal is not fixed/capped, then do you have any reason not to follow Martin's advice?
