Annual Limit to switches

Are there any penalties or problems with switching suppliers more than once per year?

    Can anyone help. I changed last May, would there be any downside to doing another comparison?

    I've switched twice in the last 9 months. You can do so as often as you like. The only downside is that switches do not always go smoothly.

    As long as you are more than 6 weeks between requesting each switch you should be fine. That's the time it takes to move betwen suppliers once you request the change.
    If you still in the process of switching and you request again, that's when it can go wrong.
    Indecision is the key to flexibility :)
