See above article.

We had a 12% rise in gas and electricity prices at the end of last year and, as of the 1st March, we have a 22% rise whilst they continue to rake in the profit. Is it only me that's a little bit peed off with this?

I was going to change from British Gas as soon as I heard rumours of the impending price rise but unless I switch to a capped rate immediately other companies will soon raise their prices so it's pointless.

Changing to a capped rate is all well and good but, having used various online comparison sites the most I can save is around £60 p.a. which, to be honest, isn't worth the hassle of changing because when all is said and done British Gas customer service is very good whereas some of the others are unknown and some I know to be terrible.
