Yep I know   I would have happily taken another fix but you have to have 3 or more things in your bundle, and my other stuff is cheaper elsewhere. (Landline, broadband, sim, home insurance etc)

I maybe need to do some more research.  Is that quote not about right?

And from reading these forums, some people ARE in a state of near panic and/or outraged on behalf of others.

They may be but they shouldn't be as there are systems in place. There are a lot of people oblivious to their energy, there is a lot of disinformation & if you want to be outraged about something try the Russian invasion of Ukraine & the ongoing war (which really does have deaths & an effect on our energy prices).

I have not researched UW at all but is the reward for introducing new people any different from the £50 refer a friend with Octopus or the Quidco(other cash back sites available) £100 cash back for joining such and such a company(when such a thing existed in competition time)

It's just a bonus for moving to another energy provider and people are pretty much only left with Octopus with the referral code and UW with their discounts.

From what I read about them, and what some former customers here say, I personally would not recommend them.

But if you are already with them anyway you might want to look into just buying their £12 mobile contract, and the cheapest home insurance they have. That should be under £400 for being able to take their fixed tariff.

What are you offered if you do that as a fixed tariff (Unit rates). Compare it to what is predicted our unit rates on SVT might look like.

Thank you @pochase. 

I don't know what the rates would be on a fix, 2 things aren't enough for a fix. I'll recheck my numbers and see how little I can add to get up to enough of a bundle to be on a fix.

I haven’t @Mstty but I will now.

Thanks @mstty. 

That is exactly what I remember, you need to take two "additional" services. Three in total.

That is why I suggested a cheap mobile for £12pm and a cheap insurance. Have they changed that?

I should probably know this as I'm with them, but what counts as a bundle for a fixed tariff? Is gas and elec counted as one - ie energy? So I'd need 2 more things..?

Interesting article @Mstty, looks like I'll be better off switching cos I'm a low user.

Is there a way to compare tariffs by the standing charge? Or is it all about the units now?
