    in a nutshell

    20.49 for electricity
    4.13 for gas

    In a nutshell - exactly what i predicted. Rip off! OCT can jog on

    I suggest we all move to another supplier as these prices are a joke. What more of a joke - these are flex tariffs and not fixed so will get even higher


    We all need to move ASAP because we are getting charged daily with these ridiculous prices


    Ok so i just went to the CA website for a comparison and OCT are offering a flexible tarrif which is cheaper then the one they have offered us!

    It is 18p kwh elect
    3.4 - gas

    Can someone please explain this to me?

    Are we getting conned? 


    Is there any other good comparisons website to look at?

    We are now in dangerous terrorist folks. The deals are getting snapped up and we are here getting the high tariffs

    I thought Octopus Energy are  the 6th largest supplier, behind in no particular order BG. E.on, EDF, SP, OVO Brands

    Is this correct. It would mean they have more customers than two of EDF, E.ON, SSE/OVO and Scottish Power.
