Guise is correct as well if the tarrif varies by demand and at the

The other PITA will be that these plans will be so 'innovative' that it
will be impossible to readily compare them as is the case now.


Electricity currently isn't to bad if you can get through the
innovative marketing presentation to the basic facts of pence per
unit. Admitedly getting through to those facts can be hard work.

Far worse is telecoms, either fixed line or mobile, you don't stand a
chance of working out what is or isn't a good deal even from a single
provider let alone the plethora of ones that are out there.
