    This company is certainly full of mystery. Do you think Nancy is also Cheetah in disguise.

    Yes it is. All the more reason not to build up a credit balance. Maybe all three people are tied up processing bills as I'm guessing our bills will be arriving this week

    I'm not panicking yet but shutting customer services on random days isn't exactly great business practice. Don't forget they will also be shut Monday I assume.

    We must all keep posting on this thread

    Dear all,

    I have been a customer for a while now and they have always been the cheapest and actually really good customer services.

    I was also really surprised that do not tie us into a long term contract, and what I have found is that as they are the cheapest, i have never had a reason to switch.

    highly recommend them!

    Really? :rotfl:

    Yes I noticed that fewkeste. There's also a similar message on trustpilot from the poster who registered and posted those comments on both sites on the same day. Their only posts to date. Here's niks trustpilot post 'Incredible energy provider!
    Incredible energy provider, gave me a wonderful price with great customer service.
    Would high recommend them and was astonished to find out how much cheaper they are compared to others.'

    ) The mystery of unexpected closure today is resolved courtesy of a reply to new customer Brian who couldn't enter a meter reading today (his first day with symbio) from a symbio representative on trust pilot

    Sounds fair enough. As an ex powershop customer they had umpteen fire alarms and unexpected office evacuations during my time with them

    Here's the reply from an unnamed customer service employee
