Another thing you can try to get out penalty free is say you’re moving to Hull where BT (and other ISPs/telcos) don’t operate as KCom have the monopoly.
It’s worked in the past. Sometimes they ask for proof of new address, sometimes they don’t. worth a go.

I wonder how easy the PS5 is do disassemble and clean out dust and change thermal paste? I recently did it with a PS4 Pro which was a far more arduous job than it needed to be. It did restore it to brand new in terms of being silent again.
Compared to taking apart the Xbox Series X to clean out the difference is like night and day. The xbox is extremely user friendly to take apart.

There’s also a raft of other ways you can qualify that they don’t advertise, such as many employers have an agreement and I think being an AA, RAC, national trust, AMEX member and a few others. Best to speak to the local warehouse about options.

I’ve always found Costco prices to be quite a bit below the other fuel retailers. The only downside to that, is the ones with the fuel stations are always absolutely rammed. I am roughly equally between two costcos and end up deliberately going to the one without the fuel station just because there’s far far fewer people there. Which is a shame as their fuel is excellent value and quality, i’d prefer to fuel up there

3.0.0.4.388_23756 has been released for the dsl-ax82u yesterday.
I’ve taken the jump, no issues to report so far. Hopefully they don’t wait 8 months for the next one :)
DSL driver version is A2pv6L047k.d28c , I *think* the minor part of that has changed since the last version, was d28b previously? Â Didn’t see it mentioned in the release notes.
Interestingly there’s still no mention at all of iPhone compatibility for 4G connectivity within the UI, only android.

Interesting. I’m still expecting to save considerably on the tracker tariff, but will be keeping a close eye on it

So as an update, I am still stuck on the Flexible rate tariff even though I was supposed to switch to the tracker around the 7th July.
I have contacted Octopus for a tracker progress update, but yet still awaiting first contact
Alas Octopus do not offer a live chat type service, so you have to either phone or drop them an email.
In a completely sane world, madness is the only freedom (J.G.Ballard).
Yeah phone email or i’ve also had faster response from them via twitter dm.
A friend of mine was in the same boat and their move to tracker was delayed, i think he got in touch via twitter and they sorted it fairly quickly and backdated it to the original date as well.

Indeed it’s a great device, I don’t mind the colour so much as I have it plugged in inside a cupboard so it’s hidden away :)
It has helped a lot during the times when my meters just fail to send the data through the dcc network and they’ve gotten the data from the home mini anyway. You get the live data but also helps build up a better picture over time with the added granular detail. Essentially moves some IHD functions into the app.
kudos to octopus for engineering around some of the bizarre smart metering limitations

Anyone on octopus can sign up and request a home mini for free: https://octopus.energy/blog/octopus-home-mini/
It’s a little device you plug in and it reads real-time info from your smart meter and displays it in the octopus app, instead of the more infrequent data they get from the meter via dcc.
I’ve found mine quite helpful. They have a number of good schemes running at no cost. Last winter I borrowed a thermal camera from them for a few days to go around and find cold/uninsulated spots around the house. They should open signups for that back up nearer the winter too.
