Since being a student I have always been conscious of who I pay my money to for the likes of gas, electric, water, tv and internet. All to often when I first moved away from home I found myself paying a great deal for not very much and not having a clue or worse not knowing how I could even change.
Often you would call up a company and ask how they could make you a better offer than your current provider. But even then things aren’t clear. You find yourself in a sales trap where companies are simply peddling their wares. What might seem to be solid gold is often just gold plated and you are simply being screwed in other ways.
So, in learning from my past (often costly mistakes) I took to the internet to trawl for great comparison sites so that I could get the lowdown on exactly what everyone else is paying and what they are getting and how efficiently. Inspired, sadly by the annoying Compare the Mearcat adverts. An unfortunate inspiration yes, but a good one because it brought my search for broadband comparison sites brought me to Uswitch. A fantastic little site that is easy to use and has no obvious affiliations with any service providers and really does find you the best deals. Now if only I could find one for my gas and electric.
