| Does this service include historical tariff information? |
Historical tariffs are tariffs which you can no longer sign up for, but which you may still be being billed on.
A typical example of a historical tariff are ‘Capped’ tariffs.
Suppliers often offer differently priced versions of the same historical tariffs. This may cause difficulties in
determining the tariff unit rates that apply to your bill, even if you know the name of the tariff that you are on.
Customers who are currently using a historical tariff should make use of the ‘Advanced Search’ tariff search function to
obtain an accurate savings results.
