There's another supplier, utiltypoint, they also don't describe it

To my mind, it makes them sound quite small and hand-to-mouth as a
supplier, as I'm sure all the energy Co's do that anyway?

Actually scratch that, just tried to find details of that tariff on
their website, and it seems like it's no longer available, but the
wording still exists ...

It appears the Just UP 21 12M Fixed Wk09 tariff does that - March-August is
quoted as double the price of Sep-Feb, which is the opposite of the
expectation you'll use more in the winter.

It does rather sound like they want cash upfront. The tariff is also not
much good (15.9p/kWh + 17p standing charge, v 12.95p/kWh + 15p standing
charge at symbio), although it's better than they other tariff (18.2p/kwh +
24.35p standing).
