    People don't have to rush to switch away now as the potential price increase can not be applied during a switch once it has been requested. Though as stated other suppliers could be raising prices too.
  • I'm taking the cheaper rates with Bulb for now and then switch to a fixed tariff before 11 November. Plus I've got the £50 referral fee so that will help compensate for Octopus's higher prices over the last 7 weeks or so.
