So the rest of the big suppliers will follow suit soon enough.
As soon as one of them takes the plunge the rest all stop holding back.

That's the benefits of competition apparently. If you don't like it you can go to another company which will increase it's prices.:mad:

If you're not on a standard variable rate tariff then its not going to effect you. If you are on an SVT then you can change your tariff with BG at no charge

Even if you are on a fixed tariff it will affect you eventually because when you are looking for a new one they will be pricier.
