    MY SUPPLY WITH OUTFOX THE MARKET WENT LIVE ON 7 SEPTEMBER 2019, THEREFORE, I'M ONLY A CUSTOMER AND CERAMIC DOES DEFY THE LAWS OF PHYSICS!
    In what way does it do that?

    I'm no longer with OTM; was only with them for a few months. I switched to Orbit Energy as was cheaper for me.
    My time with OTM was faultless. Everything happened professionally, faultlessly and on time, including my final a/c.

    YOU MUST BE A HIGH USER BECAUSE ORBIT ENERGY HAVE HIGH STANDING CHARGES AND LOW UNIT RATES, HOWEVER, TRUSTPILOT REVIEWS SUGGEST THAT YOUR MARGINAL SAVING WILL PROBABLY BE OUTWEIGHED BY NON-EXISTENT CUSTOMER SERVICE BECAUSE FOR ME AS A LOW OR MEDIUM USER OUTFOX THE MARKET'S CUSTOMER SERVICE AND PRICE IS SECOND TO NONE, THEREFORE, IS IT WORTH SWITCHING FROM A FAULTLESS SUPPLIER TO SAVE PENNIES?

    £100 pa cheaper. I am a low user. 2 retirees, Cavity insulation, LED lighting throughout. High efficiency boiler, very smart heating controls, 2.5Kw Solar PV with a diverter for spare electricity to my immersion heater: I also use IFTTT to turn off my boiler's hot water output when the sun shines. £106 G&E per month, essentially paid by the income from my Solar PV.
    All I did was use MSE Cheap Energy Club and followed his advice. Prices are area dependent. I live on the edge of NW London.

    I KNOW PRICE IS AREA DEPENDENT, BUT I DIDN'T REALIZE PRICES VARIED THAT MUCH BECAUSE MY FIX'D 20 9.0 IS THE CHEAPEST TARIFF FOR LOW USERS IN NORTHAMPTONSHIRE, THEREFORE, I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW WHAT YOUR STANDING CHARGES AND UNIT RATES ARE PLEASE?

    RALPHS, I THINK THAT YOU'RE MISTAKEN BECAUSE ORBIT ENERGY HAVE HIGH STANDING CHARGES IN ALL AREAS, THEREFORE, IT MUST BE MORE EXPENSIVE FOR A LOW USER?

    People have different definition of a low user, I use 1/4 of what Ralph uses
