    I'm wondering if there's a discount for putting a positive review on trustpilot.
    The sudden influx in similar tone of  wow, superhelphul and honests is setting off my cynic alert.
    It would also be helpful if they published some easy accessible written terms and conditions on their website about unlimited energy and price rises, because if they are on there they are very well hidden. 
    At least the reviews gave me a laugh before bedtime .So many 5 star reviews seemingly written by the same person thanking the Fused cust service staff.
     The 7% negatives were honest but most of them seemed more concerned with the Wi Fi with a few complaing about having to top up old prepayment meters .. I expect Fused to disappear not long after Oct 1 st when reality hits them and Octopus at 45 p a kwh and 14 p kwh gas .
    Student houses are notorious for excessive use of electricity  Especially when  the boiler breaks down and they all start using 3 bar electric fires on all night along with all the other high using appliances'. Tumble dryers  , half hour showers etc  Fused will Fuse and disappear .This model can t possibly work , not at 45 p a kwh. .Now is not the time for an all you can eat tariff .

    Many landlords run all inclusive billing too and they will not know whats hit them once we are into the winter and their bills start to reflect . 

    My friend runs a large all inclusive house with 11 flats in Doncaster  and she had me round to check why her electric bill was unbelievably high with gas central heating  . Even in the afternoon in February we knocked on a few doors and the occupants had broken the rules and were supplementing the low heat of the boiler in the afternoon and they were using 3 bar electric fires .Stopping that is almost impossible . All inclusive bills  will go out of fashion quickly from Oct 1 st.
