Seriously though I would spread the word if I had got one, registered my name though on the registration thingy.
FamilyFry was what it was/is hopefully going to be.

Sorry, but I find that very difficult to believe - I have a file server pc, internet pc, laptop, plasma TV, amp, sky, pvr, xbox or xbox360 or ps3 or ps2, electric oven, fridge-freezer, lights and god knows what else on in the evening for more than 2 hours, and my combined electric and gas bill is less than ?50 a month.

I reckon that's about right. I have a similar amount of stuff to that and mine works out to be about £50/month. That said, the idiots supplying it set my bill at £25/month for a good while, then when I owed them about £400 they changed it to £120/month. It's now back to about £50. I love them, lots and lots.

I work for a pretty large utilities company - I can absolutely assure you if you're paying around £50 for BOTH services (Gas & Electric combined) then you are racking up some debt - leccy is much cheaper than gas but the gas it expensive.
We tend to set new customers around the £80-£90 mark (A MONTH) and recommend they provide regular actual meter readings monthly via the web service - And this is post-price cut.
Don't mistake paying a fixed DD as having any correlation to whether you're covering your usage or not.
You lot when they catch up :

OK given I'm in a position to do so I've just run a few queries :
Week Commencing 1st June 2007 (reporting runs Fri-Thur)
Dual Fuel Average DD set : £72.92
Solus Fuel Average DD set : £47.39 (majority would've been gas - much more expensive.)
Any of you on £50 a month (for dual fuel) I'd advise you go check your situation with your supplier - Unless you're on capped prices from years back (or think you are - if you've been on them for a while check the expiry date - you may find they've finished and your rates have increased) - usage is obviously lower over the Summer than Winter but cyclic variations are taken into consideration when the DD value is calculated.
Or are you all in 1 bed flats and I've missed a trick ?Last edited by Yoshimax; 13-06-2007, 15:13.
