Interestingly - a third of consumers surveyed who did not bundle when they had a choice to, said it was because they were on a contract with the other utility on offer.
This can be a key issue if you want to switch to a bundled plan, but your current utilities have different contract lengths. Switching to a bundle plan may incur a termination fee that cancels out the savings you get from bundling.
A simple way to work around this is to temporarily move your power or broadband onto a no contract deal for a few months until your other contract has run out.
