1380532 2014-08-06 07:44:00 The old fella next door and the bloke over the road are in dispute with Contact after disproportional increases of around 300 Kilowatt-hour increases the month aftrer installation. They both say that the hardest job is to get to talk to an intelligent being. Or, even an unintelligent being.

I am with Energy Online and have had no problem. Touch wood

KenKen, are you trying to scare me?. We are with Contact and I know what you mean about trying to talk to someone when you have a query.

I can't say I noticed much difference with ours when it was installed. Nothing that wasn't consistent with power rising anyway.

Its probably luck of the draw, dependent on how old your old meter was etc.

Not at all. The old boy is 85, a retired businessman and really foaming at the mouth about some companies business methods. He ended up with his daughter handling it as he was so disgusted that she thought he would fly off the handle and would end up disconnected.

The guy over the road is paying an monthly average of his previous years accounts just to keep up to date while Contact sort it out.
