Even one of the bosses of British Gas has said people would be better off switching from them.

They pay £1 billion in tax? Really? :wink:

Unfortunately, that side of the business will be unregulated so they can do as they please and without interference from the Regulator, Ofgas

They would be even more reasonable if they shared out a bit of the profits to customers. And that goes for all of the 'BIG 6'.
