    Bulb has been in special administration for months now, no point in changing, stay where you are.
    4.29kWp Solar system, 45/55 South/West split in cloudy rainy Cumbria.

    Yes - Bulb is being treated differently to the other energy companies that failed as it had substantially more customers and the feeling was that there were simply to many to SOLR them as was done with the others. So effectively you're still with Bulb, nothing has changed. It may do in the future, but for now, unless you come across a stonkingly good fix (or feel you want the certainty of going for a stonkingly bad one) you may just as well stay put.
