    @QrizB try the heat pump one..

    Sure, Google will show you up to date but.. you'll need to go to each provider separately - unless there is a page high in ranks that have done an overview - which again may not be up to date. And is driven by who paid the most to be at the top. Every blog also just talks about octopus for the £50 referral link..

    Gpt, can make a review, sure prices may be old but I've never heard of many of these tarriffs - and they not visible if you go for typical front page quote - you just get standard - variable and fixed rates, not ToU.

    As it turns out, that's even easier.
    Go to https://www.eonnext.com/tariffs/next-pumped and scroll down the page. I get this:

    Ok thanks, I see that now if I scroll to the bottom. I got caught by the "see prices" button which leads nowhere

    AI had me killed in a motorcycle accident so would not rely on it...

    I'm not relying on it - I find it useful if you want to do a research - then just check the offers that look good directly.

    Anyway, back to Tomato, as the competition prices are very similar - if TE finds an investor and reopens they will probably up their prices - something like 5p -> 7p and likely to introduce more costly period 16-19.

    If not, then not sure what I will go for - I may try some ToU tariff from the provider I will be moved to (as they're all quite similar looking really). If nothing great or the EV is a must, then will probably pick Cosy..

    Checking on an app like Bright would be more meaningful.

    This is good advice. Bright is upto date whilst MyWatts has stopped recording since 00:30 4th September for me. 
    Just checked MyWatts again.  Consumption data now back since 7th September, but data from 00:30 4th September to 6th September is still missing.
    No response to the email but similar here, 3rd-7th missinng, 2nd & 8th half days and the rest is OK.
    Mywatts went offline for me too on Sept 4 0:30 and hasn’t come back at all. Bright went offline 6th Sept. Who can I contact to troubleshoot this? Is there a central authority for the comms side? Doubt Tomato will be much help. Concerned they might intentionally not be collecting TOU data to bill at higher rate.

    If Bright is also not showing info that sounds like a communication issue with your comms hub to me.

    Send an email to Bright at support@glowmarkt.com and ask them to pull the data from DCC.

    ...and if Bright is unable to retrieve the data, Tomato will probably need to do a remote reset, or arrange an engineer visit.

    Does anyone know when their tariff year expires (mines from October last year) does it just continue or do Tomato contact you for renewal and i assume a worse version like tracker has done yearly?
