    I'm on Home Saver24 24hr bundle with Airtricity.

    Since the 1st October I'm paying 13.17 / unit
    How does this compare to Budget and PowerNI?

    Question: If I move my keypad account to airtricity for the 1 year discount, do I have a tie in (after the 14 day cooling off period)? If so, can they up the cost by say 10% more than budget/powerNI making them less than attractive even with discount?

    Their website doesn't answer these in the FAQ & the T&C is sending me cross-eyed!

    Thanks
