Comparison web sites & latest price increases.

Do these sites update on the actual date when the supplier increases their price or are the prices factored in as soon as the comparison web sites are informed of the details of future increases.

I am asking so that I can help a friend who wants to switch but has really left it too late to switch to a decent fixed rate and is going to have to choose a variable tariff.

Do the comp. sites include the latest increased tariffs?
Any help would be appreciated.

    Yes, the comparison sites are updated as soon as they are notified of a price change.
