Your prices (including VAT) are:

• A standing charge of 24.11p per day and 20.49p/kWh for your electricity.
• A standing charge of 26.11p per day and 4.13p/kWh for your gas.

Looking at everyone else's prices - it looks like mine is more expensive then everyone. Why??

They don't like you

No, it's not that. Prices vary by region. Yours are exactly the same as ballisticbrian's, in Southern region:

It looks like its better for me to go for the following deal with separate companies:

Utility warehouse for Gas 

SC = 17.96
UNIT RATE = 4.167

NEON REEF for Electric

SC = 17.23
UNIT RATE = 16.498


Compare that to what OCT are offering currently:

• A standing charge of 24.11p per day and 20.49p/kWh for your electricity.
• A standing charge of 26.11p per day and 4.13p/kWh for your gas.

What are your thoughts people?

No reason not to go for it, the worst that can happen is that one, other or both cease trading and you are then moved to the appointed solr which could be octopus

You can`t go anywhere until your Octopus account is up and running and from what they said it will be at least the end of Novenber, by which time the deal you are looking at will be gone or the two companies will be.

Nothing to stop you attempting a move, just means it'll take longer to get any credit owed.

That lower SC is when take out Phone/Broadband/Mobile Double Gold bundle, otherwise SC is marginally lower than Octopus, kwh rate marginally higher than Octopus

My rate is now showing on the Octopus site and it is different to the email I had. 2p lower on the leccy, which is nice. (didn't expect it to track this quick)
Now to change direct debit amount and date for payment.
