You'd imagine that companies wouldn't put barriers in the way of new, or returning, customers but some may bring in minimum contracts

I am sure there may be a flaw in the system but it seems the way it is setup there should be no reason for minimum contracts as it is really just an electronic billing change. Not everyone will have access to their meter so that might indirectly add a 6 month minimum for them. I don't have access to my meter but might be able to get to if I try...

Look out for the posts by that dahamsta fella, it looks like he actually did some reading...

Cheers　Adam, that was well worth looking at.

Like that hamster fella, I'll wait and see before making any decision.

It was funny to read the people whose basis for switching was mainly to "give 2 fingers to the ESB", without realising their some of money will still be going to the ESB anyway.
