    No, you don't. Annual is £159, monthly is 12 x £13.25.

    I think you'll find that you're the outlier, most people seem to pay most of their recurring bills monthly.
    Very low income households and debtors tend to end up trapped on prepayment meters which means they pay more than rich people on credit tariffs.

    If I multiply what they are charging monthly X 3 it is a lot more than I was paying quarterly - this appears to be a way to charge more money and they are thinking the customers are too silly to notice.
    I suppose to the only way to work that one out is to check the tariff, monthly and quarterly. Of course you can ask them if the tariff has changed by sticking you on monthly DD.
    I'm with Eon.Next, not by choice but via my last supplier (Igloo) going under. Seems pretty fair so far. They did have me on the wrong tariff but soon corrected that.
    Must say the options I had were, monthly DD tariff or receipt of bill tariff (quarterly or 6 monthly, who knows) but I opted for monthly.

    Yes if you pay quarterly they add £1.25 to each quarterly payment. Doesn't bother me what TVL charge I don't have a licence and never will have!
    Someone please tell me what money is

    But the question was 'if paid monthly' not quarterly. So the answer is still no.
