    There's nothing to compare. Most suppliers only offer 1 E10 tariff, and don't even contemplate switching supplier as it inevitably ends in tears with E10.
    Other suppliers will not be able to accomodate your current metering ... despite what the phone jockey eager for his Christmas bonus may tell you just to secure a sale and so a commission payment.

    You may want to re-think your move to a E10 home...

    Do you have a link to those horror stories of which you speak?

    I read this board quite extensively and don't remember any particular horror stories. The only downside is you can't move as it really is only the legacy supplier that wiull support your set-up.

    The good news is that with 10 hours cheap electricity, and sometimes all your heat and hot water at low rate too, it's often quite a good deal. Everyone can't jump on the same thing as most suppliers do not accept any new applications.

    Of course there will always be the odd moaner who decided to rip out his heating designed for E10 and then wonders why he doesn't benefit from E10, but there's no accounting for the actions of some.
