Octopus Tracker
I just wondered about people's experiences with this tariff and whether they feel they are winners or losers. I got a quote from them yesterday, and I have to say I find the numbers highly misleading. The figures are very attractive, beating even the good fixed rate tariff I got from Avro, but presumably based on an…

Octopus wouldn't install a smart meter
I requested smart meters but when the installer visited he said he couldn't install a smart meter because there was a lack of space in the cupboard. We were told we would need to get cables moved to make room for the meter at our expense ( around £800) so we didn't pursue it. Our meter is old and needs to be replaced,. If…

Outfox Energy SMETS1 Smart Meter Compatibility?
Hi all, I'm in a property that has SMETS1 Smart Meters for both Gas and Electric - they were like that when we moved in. The people before us were with OVO, and I'm with Octopus.
