I know lol. Just thought I'd point out just how bad this is, and is going to be. Just riles me when people assume that if you don't have enough money you should just work more. It is so ignorant. Even a 40 hour a week job isn't cutting it now because the issue is hourly rate, not number of hours. Combine that with the cost of everything, well, yeah.

I don't even know what my energy bills are. It's paid by direct debit and I don't even check what goes out.
bet they fleeced you into having a few grand in credit for when the rise happens
I did sign my 2 years fixed tariff before last year's October cap hike. I'm lucky until end of July next year.

I think the current gen may drop a little more, but then next gen will start high again. There's the wealthy enthusiast early adopter market that will pay whatever it takes. After that we'll see, it depends on how many 30XX cards they have left to sell and whether there will be some delay in releasing mainstream cards because of that.
Never ever seen Octopus offer a fixed over 12m, how you get 2 years out of them lol.I did sign my 2 years fixed tariff before last year's October cap hike. I'm lucky until end of July next year.

I'm on a similar fix with EON (but no night rate). Ironically it was over the price cap at the time and the clown Martin Lewis was advising people to just go variable. I even paid £60 to get out of my cheaper fix at the time.I did sign my 2 years fixed tariff before last year's October cap hike. I'm lucky until end of July next year.

What about people who are worlinmg full-time and can't afford
You could have got 3 years last Sept frpm them.
lets face it these days very few people can really afford to PC game, the price of a GPU can be a console life times worth of games.
Especially when consoles are now available for monthly payments.
In late Sept when I first checked them was all only 12m deals for me .

At the OP, why post the business rates, then you take the domestic rate?
That wasn't business rates. That was a standard 12 month consumer fixed rate tariff.

Strange Octopus only show me those prices as business rates. choices I get for domestic are smart tariffs, I'm on5p/15p 25pSC
If I go into my account and select the change my tariff option this is what I get:
Octopus 12 Month Fixed:
Loyal Octopus 12 Month Fixed:
I got a renewal email from Octopus offering me electric at 40p day / 7.5p at night which I kind of had to accept. 16p per Kwh up to 40p and that is what is considered a good deal for a 12 month fix these days!

I take it you just renewed your GO tariff, as that will be way cheaper

If you filter on that page for 'domestic' and 'fixed' then you will see that the cheapest fixed rates available to new customers that don't own an EV is 75.38 p/KWh. If you do own an EV the cheapest is the Octopus Go tariff (the one I went for).
So it seems like Octopus don't want any new customers coming from different providers unless you own an EV.
