Hmm

I checked 5 weeks ago and recently as 2 weeks ago and Avro were not
offered.

I've just been in and even setting the filters to show only my current
supplier (with various combinations of other filters) reveals no
results. This is on the "DIY selection" option rather than "auto
switch" or "pick me a tariff"


Try deleting your cookies. You might have one identifying you
as an existing customer.


No luck there, I even tried a different browser with all cookies cleared.

The site already knows what supplier I'm with -it's part of the
information the site saves along with my personal details.

I wonder if there is a bug in their software by not giving the prices
from my existing supplier that are more expensive than my current deal
(which runs out in 12 days time). Prices have gone up, including Avro,
since I took out a contract 12 months ago but Avro are still offering
deals competitive with what the cheapenergyclub site is offering as best
buys.

I'm not too worried as I have already signed up with Avro for another 12
months and I can change or swap at any time without incurring an early
termination fee.

I've renewed with Avro (after checking other suppliers) for 4 years
running now. I'm happy with their service, competative fixed for one
year prices, no pressure for smart meters, I read the meters every
month and enter them via their website, sometimes a meter man turns up
(I guess just to check). Just don't let them do an auto renewal at the
end of the year, their standard tariff is a lot more expensive.
Phone/email them and they'll quote you their cheapest tariff (they add
new tariffs very frequently).
