What would happen if everyone did it the way you do it?
And as for the utility company commercial model of front loading discounts to attract customers to switch is just a massive pain in the arse. I wonder how much the sales, marketing, customer retention, and admin resources cost? Must be a huge waste of money.
Imagine if all utility and broadband customers got a fair price no matter the length of time with the supplier? Surely that would be a much more customer friendly model?

(Edit) - sorry, crossed posts . Pleased to see you're only playing the system. For what it's worth, I'm not moaning - not for me, anyway. I would prefer to see lower prices across the board than some win at the expense of others and the country in general.

You have the regulator recommending people switch ....
Ofgem chief executive Dermot Nolan said: "This welcome increase in switching should serve as a warning to supply companies. If they fail to keep prices under control or do not provide a good service, they risk being punished as customers vote with their feet.
"While today's figures show good progress, the market is not as competitive as we would like. That is why we have put a temporary price cap in place to protect people on prepayment meters who have the least access to competitive deals and why we are pursuing a raft of reforms which will make this market fairer, smarter and more competitive for consumers.
"Big savings of around £230 are available and switching has never been easier, so we would urge everyone to shop around for a better deal, especially if their supplier announces a price rise."
