“The Big Six have repeatedly failed to deliver a decent standard of service” – Which? response to Cornwall Energy data showing 660,000 customers have switched away from Big Six suppliers in the last year.
Which? executive director, Richard Lloyd said:
“The Big Six have repeatedly failed to deliver a decent standard of service so it’s no wonder customers are starting to leave them in droves. Despite this the CMA has found there is a lack of competition which is leading to people paying much more than they should.
“We now need the competition inquiry to bring forward radical changes to boost competition, introduce fairer prices and encourage more households to switch to better deals.
