    So for those on or contemplating SOL9, do you trust Eon?

    After the shenanigans of the last 4 years - don't trust ANY of them:rotfl:

    As to SOL9 - In my region it appears to be currently discounted by ~ 15% vs Energyonline for my usage pattern!!!:eek:

    Bump so the eon reps might look in ;)
  • I second that.
    Would go with SOL 9 if I was convinced Eon would not pull the discount back to 2% after everyone has signed up

    Very noticeably NO reaction from EON reps to this apparent glaring anomaly - whats the betting that SOL v9 will quietly disappear shortly?

    SOL v9 is still available at the moment as I've just switched to it.

    Who know what EON are/are not going to do but I've printed all the documentation and will be printing this thread so I've got a copy of the EON reps' comments as well. Can't do anymore than that.

    I am currently on SOL3, received a letter this morning detailing the increases from 13/09 and have just taken the plunge and switched to SOL9.

    With SOL3 I am getting a £20 discount as the village has no mains gas. I can't see this mentioned on SOL9 and hope EoN offers it on all their schemes.

    Thanks for the input from those of you who can make sense of the wider maths!

    I received my increase letter from M&S Energy, electric and gas rise 11% & 18% respectively. Annual bill £1900+ :eek::eek:

    I am in dilema as to whether to brave it and go with Eon SOL9 or EDF fixed saver 2. Eon SOL9 will save me £400 on current spend. SOL9 is cheaper by £1000 vs EDF saver 2 however after reading this thread I am uncertain about the risk. If Eon bump prices at a later date my pocket will be squeezed.

    Time is running out as fixed saver will disappear on Monday- any advice is welcome.

    .

    That's an astonishing saving on an exiting £1900 bill. Are you 100% certain that is right?

    Trust E.On?

    What has trust got to do with it?

    I subscribe to the cartel theory, and expect ALL the suppliers to move UP or DOWN together.

    Scenario A - UP
    ==========

    I bet wrong. I should have fixed.

    It doesn't matter that E.On puts up SaveOnline 9, it's not going to be more than any other variable rate I can sign up now.

    Scenario B - DOWN
    ============

    Why would E.On bother to put SaveOnline 9 up?

    SaveOnline 10 will be cheaper, and I simply switch over if they do put SaveOnline 9 up.
  • Hmm
    Currently on SOL 5, the jump in gas prices after 13 Sept is 47% !! Previously 5.051 p/kwh going to 7.381 p/kwh

    Sure that figure hasn't been mentioned in their statement :mad:
