Presume your reasons not for price... its based on ethics or past experience or service or something like that? You'll be on the price cap so wont be able to get a better deal at the mo

can watch for little extra charges you have triggered when - - you havent
and sullen rude reversals in the tone of "oh you have noticed that - we will get you later"
all part of their service I am frequently assured
