Is this going to happen soon, now the billing has apparently been standardised across the board?

Do not trust Uswitch. For starters they get commission on many of their sign ups, which hardly makes them impartial.
Additionally, we've tested them at work with ntl comparisons and also some energy comparisons, and a lot of the time they are plain wrong, or give differing recommendations on several entries of the same data.
They also do things like take BT's standard tarrif...which is now option 1 at £1 a month extra....and compare this with ntl's 321 tarriff, which is £1 a month less than BT but with dearer calls. The fact that ntl can offer an identical plan to option 1 but with cheaper calls, is ignored and BT comes out as being shown cheaper. It's false, and is exactly the sort of thing BT hoped for when they FORCED all their customers onto Option 1!
