How good is this British Gas price fix?
We're in the position of looking to change (prior to the price increase) - just looking at who to jump ship to! 
How good is this British Gas price fix thing - we've got both gas nad leccy with them - the only thing I can see is that it is a set price until 2009.
Might be slightly more expensive, but there is peace of mind (or so I assume)
Any thoughts?

LOL, 22% increase, never to reduce over 3 years, and they sell it like they're doing us a favour!
I too have my gas and leccy with them, not as from next month!

Right then - any recommendations? Scottish Power (Pete

Any others we should be looking at?

As always happens all the other power companies will follow with price rises. In fact most of them already have but the press just seem to like picking on british gas for some reason.

I've stayed with British Gas for way too long and now I'm on the move.
I misplaced my bill and the postman has just delivered a lovely letter from them. Once upon a time it would have read "If you have paid your bill in the last few days, please ignore this letter or pay as soon as possible", but this one reads, "Unless you pay in full immediately we will disconnect your gas supply and charge you £30.00 for the visit
, we may also fit a pre-payment meter and charge you £235.00 and you could be without gas for several days until we re-connect you".
Well to British Gas -
.
(I do not like that smilie but it's the only one appropriate at the moment.)

Never had a problem with BG (touch wood) yet. Bills by direct debit (cheaper), paperless billing (cheaper) and gas/electric from them. Had a look at uswitch and for us, there is little point in changing
