    rates look OK (given what we currently expect). Length & exit fees?

    Fixed for 12 months.

    No exit fees.

    Also says "get a free smart meter*" - but there is no info provided even though the benefit comes with a * - I have a smart meter anyway but would like one of those home thingys but I'm not sure thats the same thing!

    Gas cheaper than October, electricity slightly more. For me it would be a winner. 

    Can you postpone the start a bit? Like 01/09.2022
  • It's a no brainer.
    Bite their hand off and get it fixed.

    Who's the provider?

    No, it states the tariff will start tomorrow - I may hold of a few days though?

    Don't wait. You will bite yourself if it is gone.
  • Seriously. Do it today.
    Might be gone tomorrow. Definitely gone by Monday.
    It's the best offer you will get.

    I just fixed on the same rate, Electric only with EON. I asked if they could delay the start date, they said yes. Then they tried to process it and it wouldn't let them. They checked with their manager who said they're no longer able to forward date rates because of market volatility.

    It's a bit more for a few months, but should more than pay back in Jan/April when the SVT goes up further.
