Do they work woth existing smart meter from BG?

Apologies - I hadn't read the whole thread and hadn't noticed that that was a deal breaker.  We have a SMETS1 British Gas meter that has been 'dumb' for several years.  I like to read my meter myself, so that's absolutely no loss to me, but can understand that others might not find it acceptable.

I can't believe you are willing to pay £16.50 per month for the luxury of a smart meter tariff, a gas fix with Zog and electric with Neon reef will cost you just shy of £200 per year less than that E.on fix.

electric 13.695p / 13.51p day

gas 2.642p / 22.05p day

To be honest i thought im restricted by my smart meter where i can only go to companies who use smart meters

You can switch to anyone. Your smart meter will become dumb, so you will have to read it manually and provide regular meter reads for the most accurate bills. Once your smets1 meter gets upgraded remotely later in 2021 it will have the potential to become smart again but don’t worry about that until it actually happens.

just hurry and switch,

Same advice as you were given months ago: establish your annual usage in kWh from actual meter readings, bung the result into Citizens Advice and 'Which? Switch', then chose the cheapest supplier with whom you are comfortable.

If you had done this in a timely manner you'd have had a much better deal than anything you'll find now.
