      I just switched to them too. I’ll be interested to see how they organise their billing, they are taking out a set amount pre-paid at the start of each month which is a fair bit less than I expect my actual usage to be. It’s not clear whether I will have to pay the difference each month or if I will end up carrying the debt for a while. If they take out too much they give you 3% interest on the overpayment but I couldn’t find anything about how they deal with underpayment.

      OVO kinda have me side eyeing because I can’t see what’s different between The One Plan and The Basic Plan apart from wildly different pricing and a tiny contract.

        the estimations. I went the more expensive one cause I just dont trust the estimations at all.

            the more expensive bill is off meter reads. The cheaper one was estimations averaged out over the month, so it was pre-paid. Found that all a bit zany tbh.

              hmm. see, I’m the sort of prick that has zero problems challenging every single estimate bill with an actual photo - especially with smart meters how tf do you “estimate” when you can literally pull the data immediately - but prepaid? Do you mean it averages out, or do you mean they literally want prepayment?

                I believe they want pre-payment. I’ll be honest, I didnt look that far into it. I learnt enough to go “yeah nah not for me”
