Does anyone know how long it takes to get on the tracker once you register an interest in it? 

They sent me an email with a link as soon as I requested it (via twitter) , it was effective from the next day. 

I requested to be added to the tracker a few days ago, before that I think I put in a request in April but I've heard nothing. Is there a long list of customers wanting to change to the tracker? That's the only reason I can think of that I haven't being put on tracker yet.

Give them a ring, waiting times aren't too long. I had to call yesterday afternoon, about 5 mins wait.

Odd, I feel like I have an almost personal relationship with them sometimes, I sent them a DM on twitter late yesterday evening about my standing charge showing wrong on the Bright app (DCC sourced) and they pushed a fix immediately and sure enough, it was fixed this morning.

Looking like around 8.4p tomorrow for Gas by the way, following a somewhat similar pattern to last week.

Another expensive day tomorrow, looking like around 8.7p

All we need to know now is whether tomorrows electricity kWh rate will be nearer to 40p than 30p  or in-between

For my energy region, it's 37.05p/kWh. 😲

Is it now time for those.on tracker to move to SVT or ride it out to hopefully be capped at 11p and 40p?

To date, despite the high prices of the last while, the average daily unit rate for June is still below SVT, though the way things have been going, that may not be the case at the end of the month...

I'm on v2, so have lower standing charges, and when coupled with lower energy use at this time of year, I’m staying... for the time being, at least.

My thoughts are that we will see a new v4 tracker with a higher KWhr caps introduced before October, so if you revert back to the SVT then no way back to the current rates.  It is the same sort decision others have to make around the current customer only fixed rates deals from other suppliers, paying more now till October (although with the tracker your might pay less) and knowing you are probably below the expected Oct 1 and probably Jan 1 price capped SVT.

If the calculations are are wrong you have option with no exit fees of going back to the price cap SVT.  So from my perspective the current v3 product is good deal for those who were SOLRd like me.
