    I believe extremely strongly that there is always a cheaper alternative to BG for electricity.


    I am sure that there might be one or two areas where BG is actually cheaper than the best competitor for electricity,

    The thrust of your argument is accepted.

    Do not the above quotes contradict each other?

    The point being that anneg could be correct?

    Yes, I'm admitting that "extremely strongly" doesn't mean "absolutely certainly". :)

    BG re: gas and Local Electricity Boards re: elec have got their rates set higher, unless they have less than 50% of market share. This is correct. However, if these companies had less than 50% the profit loss would be far too damaging to maintain and would mean even more price rises.

    Also, in earlier posts it states that 'they' tell you it will be one price and then BG say it will be more...

    Who's THEY? Do you mean reps? And are you therefore trying to say that you have been misled by a rep.. guess what, the pope's catholic too!
