Dunton said:JohnD - where did you get British Gas from? I have used the figures you suggested in Uswitch, EnergyHelpLine and SimplySwitch and they all suggest Npower's "Sign Online V.6" is best.
Just says night time rate for economy. I have never used economy electricity - what's the difference between 7 and 10 (or others)? do you just ask the supplier which one they supply?
I went to http://www.energyhelpline.com/energy/rg_home.aspx?aid=107 which gives you a cash rebate if you enter through the Moneyaver link I gave earlier (because it does not take sign-up commission)
I used a made-up postcode of LU6 5NA, selected Eastern Region, current supplier EDF, Quarterly billing, standard tariff, economy 7, 55% night usage, and a made-up Electricity monthly bill of £50.
And today, NPower is the cheapest. I don't know why I got BG last time.

I see that MoneySavingExpert http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/cgi-bin/viewnews.cgi?newsid1103281560,22751, says
so maybe its because prices are changing every day at the moment.
