@ Fighter2 you are closer than most. Iberswitch have been tempting people in verbal promises and hints of 10 - 45% savings when in actual fact you'll be lucky if you make a 5% saving with any alternative to Iberdrola!  Aah Greed - makes men do stupid things.

There are no guarantees with iberswitch (as can be seen if you look closely at their website) the only guarantee is that you will pay them an admin fee to start and then a monthly - what savings are left after that ? virtually nothing if at all.

There is a government set rate or TUR/Last resort rate and all this can be found on iberdrola's website BUT talk to a few neighbours compare your bills and you will find that there are many different rates applied to your domestic neighbours by iberdrola with no rhyme or reason. So just because you are with iberdrola does NOT mean that you are on the Govt set rate.

Currently the TUR is 0.142319 -if you are on this then good for you. There are cheaper rates out there and you do not need iberswitch to find them.  Importantly you also do not need to pay any admin fee at all to change to a cheaper provider.

My experience is that electricity transfers take time at least 3 months - this is a newly de-regulated market and Iberdrola have no incentive to get rid of clients quickly so for any company to say they will swap you to the cheapest rate ... err no - i don't think so. The transfer mechanism simply doesn't work that quickly and if it does - please can iberswitch explain EXACTLY how.

For anyone who has signed up to iberswitch - read the small print - you may have just signed over to them the right to change your line rental, calls and internet providers !!   Download their application form from their website and you'll see what I mean.
