The 30 pound is the fee they would charge me to change to this fixed term plan - which is really stupid and unfair. im currently on a standard gas tariff.

The thing is, is a 6% reduction in my gas bill (thats what they told me) a reason to change plans when they would charge me 30 pound to do so ?

Im quite happy with the electricity as a pre-payment metre and, to be honest, all this switching suppliers doesnt interest me so much. To me it seems they are all "much of a muchness" i.e. one company raises prices then 2 months later they all do - then one company lowers prices and then they all do etc etc.
