Where have I said that? Your thoughts have let you down. Or you are trying to twist my words - perish that thought!

While you are thinking, can you come up with any reason as to why your colleague/head parrott keggs sees this Which? comment regarding how much more expensive uw tariffs are as "useful"? (Yet also worries it is a "stumbling block" to getting gullibles to sign up for him to uw?)

Have you been asleep Quentin. Have a word with upto.

There is a cheapest tariff for any given set of circumstances

I agree, and in certain circumstances that can actually work out to be Utility Warehouse, especially with judicious use of the pre payment card.

I am an independent distributor with Utility Warehouse and the views I express may not be shared by the company.

How do you explain the fact that some UW agents claim that UW dont pay to appear on comparism sites so they dont treat them favourably ,when it appears that they do pay ?

How do you know UW pay comparison sites? That's news to me.

While I'm thinking, how about giving us the link to your Utility Warehouse pre payment card beating cashback card?

Maybe all this proves is that UW would be OK for some people

Which is what IDs here have been trying to say for God knows how long. But will they listen? :beer:

There are actually a lot of tariffs on the list i've seen that are also more expensive than UW. It sits about 3/8 of the way up my list. It's not the cheapest, granted, but it's by no means the most expensive.

The AUWF won't like that.:rotfl:

The Hon Wigoder sums it up for you Keggs.

"We have built our business as the only Company to have successfully challenged the entrenched market position of the "Big 6" by focussing on consistently delivering the best customer service and overall value for money. This is evidenced by the recent independent market research carried out by [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]Which? [/FONT][/FONT]magazine, where we were rated as "Best Energy Supplier" by a significant margin compared with our competitors, and by the low churn rates we enjoy.
We do not claim to be the cheapest energy provider in isolation, but deliver significant savings to our customers through our unique "multi-utility" proposition, where customers receive a wide range of valuable benefits by using us to supplier all their utilities. We are the only Company to offer a fully integrated solution encompassing gas, electricity, fixed telephony, mobile telephony and broadband, with customers receiving just a single monthly bill for all the services being supplied to them. "

As somebody who stated that WHICH? methods are flawed, have you changed your mind and are you now saying that WHICH? offers valid advice?

How do you explain the fact that a number of members using this thread pay less for their utilities than with any other company?

Actually I am a little concerned about WHICH.

They state that UW is only 20% more expensive than the cheapest gas and electric tariff.

However in the examples I have looked up, UW are 26% to 27% more expensive.

P.S.
You are really lucky to have Keggs 'on your side' with all his incisive and hard hitting comments. Why don't you thank him more often?;)
