    OK accepting that, why are they not adjusting (post price rise) the best comparison which is also offered by Scottish Power and is NOT a price capped product. Except for the capped products, surely Scottish Power are increasing ALL their tariffs. The comparison site is indicating they are not adjusting the price of the product they are comparing to my existing tariff. They also state that the figures are my "current annual spend", not projected.

    This week 993-12 798-63
