I’ve gone with their sept single rate 13m tariff. They have an ev tariff which is cheaper than octopus iog – I’ll be getting an ev in the near future so will switch to that when necessary.
Seems only potential downside is that they bill in full for your prior months usage rather than having a set direct debit every month. Also, of course the octopus home mini won’t work with fuse but I believe you can still see live data in the octopus app from the device even if no longer with them.

I see the new version of octopus tracker has come out and once again they’ve hiked the profit margins. I’ve kicked off a switch now it’s no longer anywhere near a good value.
If anyone wants a Fuse referral for between ÂŁ25-ÂŁ150 credit let me know

The rates with Fuse do look quite attractive at the moment. If I weren’t about to switch to an EV I would probably switch to that from Tracker, the amount of profit margin Octopus have bloated tracker tariff with now (12-13p/kwh) it’s not often it’ll drop below the fixed rates offered by Fuse

No probs, and this was the scheme you can join the waitlist to borrow a thermal camera to look out for heat leaks during the winter. Also free. I borrowed one a couple years back and found a good few places to fix up

Indeed yes the IHD do certainly serve a purpose for a lot of people. The home mini is a great little device and they’re not charging for it, may well be worth putting yourself on the waitlist for one of it’s of interest, just need to have a plug socket somewhere in a reasonable range to your meter that can also reach your wifi network. I stuck mine on my IOT wifi network just in case. Easy to set up and then I don’t think about it it just enhances and provides more up to date/live usage info within the octopus app. Really this is what the smart meters should be providing and octopus are just briging that gap.
I don’t agree with everything Octopus does but this is one of their genuinely customer friendly helpful initiaves. Alongside when they let people borrow thermal cameras during the winter to track down heat loss in the home for free, that’s worth a go too if you haven’t taken advantage.

I can’t say I disagree. Social media is weapons grade brain rot, specifically targeted at making the adult brain hooked. This is orders of magnitude more effective on young kids. The damage has been plain to see … i’d welcome such an introduction here.

Interesting! Never been in that position myself but seems from what I see online people who have posted have certainly been able to negotiate a lot on it.
As long as it won’t be too impactful I would crack on and be seen as the hero for your neighbours for getting fibre in and take the kudos

I think many aspects of wayleave are negotiable – from the payment to the actual particulars of what they’re doing such as if you want them to lay them deeper than they’re suggesting although payments never seem to be massively substantial.
I would think predominantly your neighbours would be more aggrieved if it was yourself being the blocker between them and getting fibre however :)
