1st June:
Eon puts up gas and electricity prices, still best price for us, so I stick with them.
21 August
Eon tells me of a new tariff, prices fixed until 1 november 2009, but prices will drop if wholesale prices drop. Cannot change to this tariff as their lines are engaged and website screwed.
22 August:
Eon puts up gas and electricity prices 26% for gas, 16% for electricity.
27 August
I find out from their website details of a new tariff, prices fixed until 1 November 2009, but prices will drop if wholesale prices drop.
The last tariff is dropped to the same level as the tariff at 1st June?
So what was the hugely publicised 26/16% hike for?
For people who are too daft to check the tariffs?
