Not really 'news' any more is it. The most obvious price rise in history. The other suppliers will soon follow.

I'm on their dual fuel Websaver 8, contracted until October with a £60 early exit fee.
Thinking of changing to a capped quickly but would the price increase allow me to exit for free due to them changing the price?

"Bend over blackadder, it's poker time!"

Absolutely disgraceful. When will it end? No chance of inflation dropping anytime this century if these kind of costs keep going up.

It use to be a few %, now it seems that 10-15% or higher is the "norm."

Good old British public. They paid it once, so they will pay it again and again and again. But that's ok, my 18% a year pay rise will cover the increase. Oh wait, i forgot, i did not get any pay rise, infact the last 3 years i have had a 10% reduction in salary.:mad:

Thank god food and petrol are so cheap these days, i'd really be in trouble if they ever went up!

The gas price rise is probably in line with expectations, but the 16% electricity increase is a surprise. Glad I am no longer with them.

And you don't think other suppliers are going to follow suit? tsk.
