Stay with the one you've got  The alternative, as I've found out recently, is spending hours on the phone listening to someone with an unintelligible accent banging on about various tariffs, that all sound the same but in a different order. |

Depends on supply areas its different around the country but i tend to find the smaller online only companys like first utility ovo tend to be the best as they have less overheads as a business as they are smaller so tend to undercut most the competition but its not a rule as i said do a few comparisins differend sites and call suppliers direct for best deals |
