Yes broadband electric gas and land line.
The more utilities you have the more discount.
I'm about to knock the land-line on the head as I never use it.

Octopus tracker, been on this since last february
Todays prices
OctopusTracker Southern daily price update vs EPC - 27/02/2024
Dec Tariff - Electric kWh - 17.87p (38% less, 2% change), Gas kWh - 3.86p (48% less, 3% change
Varies by day but at this point never gone above SVT
Gas has been approx 50% cheaper since last autumn
Elect was down to 8p a unit over christmas
You are not tied in and if prices rocket you have the option of changing back
Was no 1 uk hot deal last year
https://www.hotukdeals.com/share-deal-from-app/4159026
New version is dec 2023 and reflected in above prices
That's not available where I am
It's fixed or variable
Variable by day but consistently cheaper by around 40% over the last 12 months
Wholsale prices are on the floor which makes a mockery of the latest ofgem tarriff
You have to change to octopus first then change over to tracker

Current wholesale prices
British Gas. Absolute sh1te but so bad in fact that I keep taking them to the Ombudsman and getting compensation. Three times now. I don't get free energy but it's hugely discounted because of their incompetence.
Nice one that looks the way to go
Just checked my fixed rate runs out 31st March, so I'll look again then
What type of complaints, service related?
I was with Green, a couple of years ago they went under and my account was taken over by Shell. Now they've sold the accounts and I have just received an email that I am now an Octopus customer.
Shell have been pretty good. They take the readings direct from the 'Smart' meter (smart as in it sends them the readings but not a latest meter that allows us to see usage via a device.)
Ultimately it's all down to usage. If you get one company saying they can reduce your direct debit they will soon increase it again if you are using more energy.
I am changing to octopus flex
I left those idiots now I am leaving eon as they are almost as bad
Yep my mate is on shell energy and also on them for broadband ?
No hassle he says
Complaints as in they are incompetent
If gas is cheaper than last year then how come I’m pay almost £300 a month, last year it was £200!
Heating running same schedule as last year (with octopus)
Flexible Octopus
Current estimate winter usage 110 quid a month
March to November reduces
Use existing smart meter
Send me monthly text with bill and link to account for card payment
It's like dealing with grown ups
No they don't, there fixed rate deals around. Have a look on Money Saving Expert
Yes no tracker option, either fixed or variable 12 month. The flexible one appears to be the most expensive one and I’m on it
I can get tracker but need to be on fixed or variable first ?
I’m not sure sludge….im just on flexible, I guess I won’t change now as might be cheaper in April….
I would stick with what you have then look for savings with Octopus
Unless you have found them difficult
Variable

Existing Octopus customers could consider its Octopus Tracker tariff (if you're not already with Octopus, you can try switching to its standard variable tariff, then switch to this). Its rates change daily based on wholesale costs, meaning it's been substantially cheaper than the Price Cap in recent months.
I'd wait till April and then look at the tracker.
You have to be on variable tariff for a period before you can be considered for trackerVariable
