Default OT: Electricity speculation

I have always heard that generally the opposite is true, dual fuel
cheaper from one single supplier.


I think it depends on usage. Dual fuel discount is usually £20-30. If
you're a low user, that makes sense. If you use a reasonable amount, the
difference in unit costs outweighs that. Given typical bills can be ~£1Kpa
it doesn't take a huge difference in unit cost to outweigh that £30.
