Anyone know if the fixes that Octopus are offering have changed since the price cap announcement?

I'm in the 14 day cooling off period on an Octopus fix that I signed up for last week. Just curious to know whether they have amended the fix rates ("loyal" offers) that they are offering to existing customers in the light of the Ofgem price cap announcrment last Friday?

Any evidence that other suppliers have amended the rates they are offering for existing customer fixed deals?

    Would suggest highly unlikely, firms would have baked in last Fridays figures into their pricing already(easy enough for them to predict where the cap was going, Cornwall Insights were only a tenner out I think)

    Octopus's fixed tariff names usually include the month and year that they were first offered.
    I think they are still named July.
