Our fixed price finishes next month so I had done a price comparison, I had found a fixed price for £380 per month (this was with eon as well), which was steep but sounded right, but as dh has the account eon who we are with wrote to him.and offered either £500 a month to fix or advised variable was only £50 a month more than our current bill - I just can't understand the variances here? It seems better just to go variable but I thought the new advice was to fix before October? It is so confusing, £50 a month rise is a.pain but based on what I have seen other people getting, and the £500 a month fixed, it seems too low? The whole thing is crazy, it is hard to know what to do for the best!

Only advised to fix if the new price is less than 40% ish above the current price cap (price per kwh/standing change not the monthly price). I'm staying on the price cap for the time being

Mine was higher to fix than carry on on the variable rate. We fixed as given okish rate with short term pain for long term gain.

I know! Absolutely crazy, I think we will have to stay variable and hope October's rise isn't worse 😬
