....via comparison site.

Just wondering about the recent British Gas All Online tariff that has to be done via a comparison site. If you are already with BG and switch to this tarrif, is usually more quickly completed than a switch to another supplier?

    Under the terms of its Standard Licence Conditions, a supplier that agrees to a change of tariff has to action the change within 5 working days. This is treated as a mutual variation of contract and there is no ‘cooling off’ period. If you apply via a PCW, it is likely that the supplier will not receive a request to change tariffs until a day later than if you apply via the supplier’s own website.
