Octopus, the new Bulb. In 6 months time everyone will be jumping ship when they increase their prices for the 3rd consecutive month

So octopus give £50 referral. That would make it cheaper than Avro.

im moving to octopus then

I find myself wondering if Bulb would be better scrapping the expensive referral scheme in order to keep prices down, rather than losing a bunch of customers by increasing prices by ~18%?

British Gas are now ~£100/year cheaper for me. On a 12 month fix deal. With boiler cover thrown in...

A referral makes Octopus the cheapest (behind outfox the market) for me too. And Octopus have great feedback.

I'm still with Breeze on the one year fixed saver which is substantially cheaper than anywhere else I can find. There's no exit fee's and the deal runs out in November so I may as well wait for now.

Switch started for Bulb to Octopus

Figuring if we all get referred and refer one person, that's pretty much the Bulb increase offset.

done bud

robj20 · 12 Sep 2018 at 12:38

Have you guys gone for the fixed or variable tarriff?

McPhee · 12 Sep 2018 at 12:43

Fixed for me. It's coming out £6/month more and there's a pretty strong chance the variable tariff will go up before the year ends.

robj20 · 12 Sep 2018 at 12:46

Current Bulb - £729.53
Bulb after rise - £880.64

Octopus - £813.69

Fingers crossed the switch goes smoothly. Don't want a repeat of Together Energy.

wedrum · 12 Sep 2018 at 12:49

fixed for me too

McPhee · 12 Sep 2018 at 13:14

Switch done.

If anyone wants a referral, let me know.

topgun06 · 12 Sep 2018 at 14:11

So with Bulb we've got until the 11th Nov until the price increases for existing customers. I think I'll hold out until nearer that time before making my decision on who to switch to.
