Also important to remember that the flat value £2500 "price cap" is meaningless, the actual cap is on unit rate prices, e.g. currently I'm paying about £350/month which works out as £4200 a year. It will be less as I'm paying actual usage and gas use will be tiny over summer, but it'll still be well over £3000 despite the £2500 "price cap".

its just been announced on the news? and its dropping from 1st April, I am fully aware that the cap is meaning less and it is all about what you you! it still doesn't make sense though as gas prices have fallen and yadda yadda about buying in advance, our bills when up regardless of when the bladdy thing was bought...channelling Zizu
