Other firms will have to match them or they're done.Will octopus be the only supplier in a few years time? Not just on the forum but it seems like people are switching to octopus but no one is switching anywhere else

The referral bonus alone is what is prompting many to switch. When all other suppliers cost the same (+/- 0.5p), a £50 referral goes a long way.No, this forum just has a bit of a hard on for octopus at the moment. Mainly because you have a lot of EV drivers and people with Solar taking advantage of their more niche tariffs.
Signed. Not sure why they ask you for money after signing? Also, they should have put this on the Parliament petitions site.That video corrected its petition link, has half a million signatures.
SC Petition
Claims there is a headroom in the SC allowance (to cover inefficiencies).
I agree on the above replies regarding transparency, it just isnt there. Part of the problem of Ofgem promoting an overall typical annual cost is it dumbs down the visibility of zero usage costs growth.
Also kicking can down the road from Ofgem. They seem to genuinely not recognise there is a SC problem.
Ofgem SC Review Update
Same here.I think it's time I moved to Octopus from EDF.
Tried switching to Octopus through a referral. I tried a few times early in the month. They want a month up front on the 5th followed by 200 on the 26th. So £400 in month one.Will octopus be the only supplier in a few years time? Not just on the forum but it seems like people are switching to octopus but no one is switching anywhere else

Yep, that's what I did too.All you have to do is tell them you want to go on variable payment. All I pay is what I use. Simple as that.
Yep my thoughts were the same when I first seen it, they used the wrong site, given its a political issue.Signed. Not sure why they ask you for money after signing? Also, they should have put this on the Parliament petitions site.
It is tinted on the EV yeah, but they great for the other end of the market as well, their SC discounts, help for poorest 100k, letting people join cheap trackers and then losing money to honour the tariffs.No, this forum just has a bit of a hard on for octopus at the moment.

also free to switch from fixed tariff at any time with no penalty.It is tinted on the EV yeah, but they great for the other end of the market as well, their SC discounts, help for poorest 100k, letting people join cheap trackers and then losing money to honour the tariffs.
Then you got all of the cutting edge stuff like Octopus mini, decent app, and modern TOU tariffs.
The only thing saving the others now is consumer lazyness and brand loyalty in my opinion. Also anyone with energy debt is locked in as typically moving requires the balance to be cleared.
Also. Octopus am to be the only competent and advancing company.
Half the time my little monthly usage graph in Scottish power isn't even working
Why are you still with them? Why did you not jump on tracker a couple of months ago. It is cheaper then the deal you got from them as I recall.
And I imagine there are still a fair few people locked into cheap legacy deals with their supplier. I am until next year, so absolutely zero point moving to Octopus just yet. They will definitely be getting a serious look when my current deal ends though.The only thing saving the others now is consumer lazyness and brand loyalty in my opinion.

not gonna lie.... that is pretty sweet, i take it that is an older fix and not on offer now?Because it's
5.1p/unit + 25.3p standing gas
21.3p/unit + 23.6p standing for electricity

i am on a good thing with Octopus Flux for the rest of spring and summer... i will have to have a think in autumn, i wont be exporting much by October...... my next car will be an EV, at least for one of our 2 cars, as daft as it sounds i may use that as the excuse i need to replace the rat run car with an older leaf or I3 or something and then get back onto octopus Go. (I wont be allowed back onto it without an EV)
for now however with no EV, the export payments i am getting on Flux means its a great tariff for me for 8 months of the year.
