Readers might like to note that another of the smaller energy providers, namely First Utility, use only GEOGRAPHIC NUMBERS, 01932 ....       Perhaps they should be in the Hall of Fame?

Incidentally First Utility are still offering a fixed tariff for 18 months which is lower than all the Big Six are charging prior to their recently announced 8-11% increases.    One must ask -- if a small company can fix its prices at such a lower level how is it that the Big Six all state that they have no option but to increase their prices due to external factors such as the wholesale market price???   It seems someone is being economical with the truth. Huh Roll Eyes Angry

And I would also like to add that some people noted that whilst giving evidence to the Parliamentary Select Committee one of the Big Six executives claimed that their profit levels were reasonable by comparison with the Mobile Phone Companies profit levels.   Some were heard to say "it takes one greedy rip-off industry to know another!"    8-)
