As most of the other companies have yet to increase prices, those two fixed deals look really good at the moment. However, they may be withdrawn as nPower and EDF raise prices elsewhere. The next best fixed tariff is OVO New Energy Fixed at £633, which is the one i've opted for (I've tried all the other companies in the list).

E.On Track and Save 10 already gone, and the two BG ones will vanish from the top 10 pretty quick after today's anounced rise.

My advice is to fix. For an extra £19 a year, it has to be worth the security of knowing your bills won't go up.

Had a Scottish Power retention guy knock at my door yesterday afternoon. I told him that he was too late, I was already moving (had actually provided my final meter reading that morning). He offered Online Energy Saver 14 (£615), but I told him I was fixing for 12 months with OVO and i'd review after that. We then had a nice friendly chat (he was actually a nice bloke)

So what are you waiting for? EDF FSv2 will not be around much longer.
Don't forget the £20 cashback though!

I echon the above, GoFix6 has gone, so logically other decent fixed rates are going to get more people going onto them and are therefore more likely to be pulled!

EDF are advertising on the radio and in newspapers so that one is probably not going to be around much longer, OVO I don't know much about other than they are smaller and so will hopefull yhave a better service (no personal experience of this though).

Well, I officially became an OVO customer on 15th July. I'm just waiting for my final bill from Scottish Power now. They owe me £100+

By the time the companies in the Top 10 put their prices up, I doubt there'll be any variable tariffs available for much less than £700 for my usage.

My deal with Scottish power finishes on 31st July, do I have to wait until then to switch to avoid penalties?

No, because switchig takes 4-5 weeks, so you wouldn't be on supply with your new provider until the end of August now. And it only matters anyway if you are on a tariff that has an ETC-you didn't say.
