This is the closest clue I'll reveal about who I am. That guide was written purely by me and me alone, although I did get feedback from a few people to help improve it. I'm a verified customer of OVO, not of E.On. The primary reason I come on here as well is purely to make sure people who come over here get the right answers about the stuff I know (mainly smart meters). I don't get special perks from either side for helping out on the forums either other than people saying thanks. I do it purely on a volunteer basis and if I wanted to, I could just leave anytime.

Sure, different username means it's harder to prove it really is me. But I have reasons for that. If you really want to have me prove it's the same person on both sides, feel free to send me a PM via both forums and ask me to send you a response that only you would recognise.

And as I've always said, price alone isn't the only thing to consider. Octopus might be pretty cheap, but that doesn't mean they're the best for everyone.

My comment was aimed at Landmark sorry, I’m not sure why it didn’t quote him.

Ah ok, fair enough. Unfortunately, it's just another bug in this forum as I've had nightmares with that not working properly. That's what happens when you take vBulletin, throw a completely incompatible custom template on top of it and then "Hack vBulletin Core" with custom scripts and other stuff that isn't really designed to work with it. This particular instance looks completely different from all others as a result and it's definitely not meant to look like this in a vanilla state. It's almost as terrible as Khorus, but not quite as bad (but only because just about anything is better than Khorus).

Your suggestion is incorrect. I just happen to be a satisfied Eon Next customer who wants to question your judgements here.

However, that doesn't mean it OK to be arbitrary, it would be better to get the mathematics correct if I may say so.

Alright Rainman. If I'd known it was such an issue I'd have quoted it to 3 decimal places.

You will be pleased to know my final payment has come through now so I'm out of here.

Enjoy your over priced sub par service!

Did I mention 10% cheaper as well?

Sorted, I'll be doing this tomorrow. e.on just can't get the basics right...

So why are you still posting 5 times up to September 2021 then?

[Richtea78]

@Landmark because you keep quoting me! Little bit obsessed aren’t we? Scared I outed you as a staff shill?

On the contrary, I have nothing to hide. If you choose to start defamatory rumours, then it is right that in this case, you must be corrected; simple as that.

Just finished switching over to Octopus..

Holy cow, they read the smart meter every half hour, and graph it for me, basically real-time billing.

Am glad to have switched.

@Richtea78 it's no good lying repetitively; you are making a nuisance of yourself by trolling here.
