Can I arrange a good tarrif in anticipation mine ending in March 2003

Id like to plan ahead and fix up a good deal in anticipation of more price hikes next year.
I secured a good deal with Eon at the beginning of this year( dual fuel ) which finishes in March 2003.
How can I get a deal now, to start in March 2003 and continue there after without hitting a massive hike in price?
Any thoughts much appreciated.

    I'd suggest contacting Marty McFly or Doc Brown.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
  • Or someone who can gaze in a crystal ball. Lots can happen between now and March its far too long to predicate what can happen, new tariffs come and go so what my be best now may not be in March. Leave it until at least Feb

    Didnt March 2003 come and go or am I in some sort of time warp?

    Assuming you mean March 2013, you can't reserve a tariff that does not yet exist!

    So not such a "good deal" if your are already doubting the term is long enough.

    How?

    You can "terminate" the Eon deal now, paying any "early termination charges" and go for a longer deal.

  • Maybe their '1' key doesn't work!

  • is that what this much-vaunted word "Spam" is referring to?

    I doubt the OP is a robot or spambot. There is nothing really being spammed in the post, no url links, email addresses, product names or prices for little blue male enhancement pills.

    There could be many legit reasons why this has happened, poor eyesight, broken keyboard, typing quickly etc.

    I must admit that some of the print is wearing off my keyboard, and its getting difficult to see the letters printed on the keys, and some have worn off completely, if it wasn't from habit of knowing the layout, I probably would also be hitting the wrong keys :).
