Well they are in special administration, so now owned by the government, so at some point they will be closed down, I guess when prices drop, but nothing inherently wrong with them now.

As Sam W says, nothing inherently wrong in that they continue to supply domestic connections, I’d just prefer to be with someone who I know is solvent and stable (as much as possible). Huge brain drain from bulb so very much running skeleton staff, probably fine if nothing goes wrong. My views of course, YMMV.

Good luck finding a supplier that will easily take you on! They technically have to if you ask, but given that the cheapest current tariff (till October) is variable it’ll be the same for everyone. Best bet is to stick with the incumbent (which will be on variable tariff) and see what they offer for customer-only tariffs once you’re signed up. The MSE piece linked up thread by Bobble is useful to know if you’re over/under paying for any fixed tariffs they offer existing customers.
However if the incumbent is Bulb then just move anywhere else… Octopus are making it the least difficult to join at the moment (just need to call, website says nothing available)
