There is a delay and you know there is one..and surely if what you are suggesting is true then it should apply to the time scale in relation to the price increases as well.
Frankly the fact that the average customer needs the equivalent of a PHD to understand the differing tariffs within a particular company let alone with a different supplier needs some serious attention.It smacks of obfuscation and does prevent comparison of like with like.It certainly seems deliberate.
I was never impressed with British Gas/Electric when it was publicly owned but I'm not impressed with them as a private concern either.
