While I do spend a bit more on energy working from home, the fact is it's still massively less than what I would have spent on public transport going to and from the office, to say nothing of incidentals that I might have gotten i.e. coffee etc.
And speaking of which energy provider is trying to jack up the prices by 30%. Yeah how about fuck off and sayonara. I'm already spending more this year despite the fact I'm using less energy compared to last year thanks to the split system.
not sure what network you are on but I just switched to OVO who were the cheapest on ausnet. I can send you a referral code if you want that gets us both I THINK 100 bucks credit?
I'm on Jemena network but OVA available to me. Would love the referral code if you don't mind!
just pinged you a PM, looks like it contains my name so I wont post it here haha
You mean to tell me your last name isn't "Break"??? You've just been lying to us all for the last 5 years??????!?!?!!?
F me has it been 5 years!? My god!
(I don't actually know, and I don't use Reddit anymore to go find out, just a wild guess)
Just made the switch then! Many thanks!!
I just switched to them too. I'll be interested to see how they organise their billing, they are taking out a set amount pre-paid at the start of each month which is a fair bit less than I expect my actual usage to be. It's not clear whether I will have to pay the difference each month or if I will end up carrying the debt for a while. If they take out too much they give you 3% interest on the overpayment but I couldn't find anything about how they deal with underpayment.
OVO kinda have me side eyeing because I can't see what's different between The One Plan and The Basic Plan apart from wildly different pricing and a tiny contract.
the estimations. I went the more expensive one cause I just dont trust the estimations at all.
Estimations?
the more expensive bill is off meter reads. The cheaper one was estimations averaged out over the month, so it was pre-paid. Found that all a bit zany tbh.
hmm. see, I'm the sort of prick that has zero problems challenging every single estimate bill with an actual photo - especially with smart meters how tf do you "estimate" when you can literally pull the data immediately - but prepaid? Do you mean it averages out, or do you mean they literally want prepayment?
I believe they want pre-payment. I'll be honest, I didnt look that far into it. I learnt enough to go "yeah nah not for me"
Fuuuuuuck that
