Im ready to transfer across to Octopus. I don't have a twitter account, can i just ring or email them to transfer me to the tracker rate. What precisely is the tracker rate called?
Anyone got a referral link, maybe one that hasn't been used? Spread the cash around.
Jumping through more and more hoops for ever more diminishing returns so you get that warm fuzzy feeling because your bill is only 90% higher than it was rather than 95%. Once upon a time it was using comparison sites (before it .came out that most are rigged), now a live tracker. The consumer is being played by the corporations and the torys.You can still do that if you want though? The supplier I just left billed quarterly and if you didn't have a smart meter you would submit a reading just before.
Spend hours a day?
Any more hyperbole it's literally an instant alert if you want to try save some money, if you don't you just sit on svr and do nothing.

Like a violinI'm making 20-30% savings on my bill
So what's your argument here? That people, given the choice, should pay 20-30% more?Like a violin
It's an illusion of choice. Exactly the same CH4 molecules from exactly the same source coming through exactly the same pipe. The middle-men suppliers just concoct 'deals' to fool people into thinking they are getting a deal. It's a scam.So what's your argument here? That people, given the choice, should pay 20-30% more?
Any details on why it takes "hours" a day to check rates?
Ignore him mate. You’re trying to help people and it’s a choice if people want to look into it or not.So what's your argument here? That people, given the choice, should pay 20-30% more?

It's not an illusion of choice. It's a choice of paying SVR or paying less. Prior to this crisis I paid £67 a month while people I knew used less and paid more. That's not an illusion, it's tangible. You can either look after your money or not, I know which I will do.It's an illusion of choice. Exactly the same CH4 molecules from exactly the same source coming through exactly the same pipe.

I assume you check every time the tracker tells you. How often does it change?
Have you got a smart meter? If not I'd suggest filling in the request form to register interest, unless you're opposed to having one.Well I signed up last week from the OP's link, got nothing to lose and everything to gain as far as I can see.
I'm all set up now with meter readings done.
I have registered for new smart meters, yes I do have them, but the old ones, and no one can seem to read them.Have you got a smart meter? If not I'd suggest filling in the request form to register interest, unless you're opposed to having one.
Technically smets1 meters (which is what you'll have) can now be upgraded to smets2 remotely so they should, in theory, be able to issue what is called a BSR (business service request) and it will update it, but may take a while. Again, worth reaching out on Twitter as despite some Luddites longing for quarterly bills and financial mystery; I like to know what I am in the hook for at all times and having a display that shows me that in real time is invaluableI have registered for new smart meters, yes I do have them, but the old ones, and no one can seem to read them.
Yeah technically all smets1 meter should be upgradable, it can take up to 2 weeks for the industry stuff to go through though so they may pick it up but ideally get it swapped out asap. You can provide manual reads and you can use your ihd to get those readings, just means the £ figure on ihd will not be correctAs has been said previously in this thread, like others, I'm really impressed with the speed and efficiency from Octopus.
I applied to switch on Feb 1st. Started with them on Feb 3rd and have just switched to the Tracker tariff via a phone call this morning.
Only issue I have is with my SMETS1 gas meter which they (and previous suppliers) haven't been able to read, although the electric one is fine. Octopus are going to try and fix it and if not get me a new one.
Also look at Hugo/bright/loop app, if your meter is reporting to the DCC you can access it via thatAs has been said previously in this thread, like others, I'm really impressed with the speed and efficiency from Octopus.

Paying less for those same CH4 molecules from the same source has to be one of the better scams I have come across.It's an illusion of choice. Exactly the same CH4 molecules from exactly the same source coming through exactly the same pipe. The middle-men suppliers just concoct 'deals' to fool people into thinking they are getting a deal.
