Recently switched to NPower - what to do now?!

Hello,
I'm a newbie to all this switching and am confused! I can't believe that the first swictch I have ever done has been to Npower just as they put up their prices!!!
I gather from other threads that it is best to wait and see what happens before switching again - is that right? Am I right in thinking that you can switch at anytime? Does Martin usually post some advice when things like this happen? If so, I'll wait for that. I was with southern electric before and thought I'd be saving £140 by switching to Npower. I'm on the ONLINE GAS/ELECTRICITY SOL tarif - that will be affected by the price rises, won't it??

Thanks
Vicster

    Npower price increases to Standard product and Sign Online products prior to version 8.

    Martin was on Money Box on Radio 4 today advising people not to switch as it's likely all other energy providers will put up their prices.

    The original poster is almost certainly on Sign OnLine 8 or 9 as only these online tariffs were being offered in the past 3 months or so, so they should be unaffected by the price increases.

    Why should sign online 8 and 9 be unaffected by the price increase....was an increase already in place for these tariffs?
