Iberswitch

[toyotadesigner]

Does anybody have any experience with 'Iberswitch' (http://www.iberswitch.com)?

We have read an article in the euroweeklynews (24 -30 may 2012) about this power supply corp, but reading their terms doesn't give me too much confidence.

Any information will be appreciated!

No experience personally, but from what I have heard I would not go near with the proverbial 6' barge pole!

It's a con. Their advertising is totally misleading. They are now suggesting they can save you 50% but all that is is the normal discount for getting an off peak meter which you can do yourself.

Try this link to another forum where it was discussed. http://goo.gl/1qIk6

Switching supplier was also covered recently on this thread:- http://www.andalucia.com/forums/viewtop ... 22&t=28638

Essentially as most users are on a government controlled tariff there is very little room to manoeuvre apart from small discounts on the monthly charge and promises of tariffs fixed for a year or so. These "fixed" tariffs are also able to vary so you never get what you are expecting.

It's pretty simple to change supplier if you want to - you don't need to pay someone for the priviledge.

If you want to compare tariffs look at this government price comparison site

If you are a heavy user on a potencia of more that 10kw then you will already have been forced into the "free" (I wish) market where electricity is about 30% more expensive as it is not government controlled. In that case there are significant savings to be made by switching supplier. I am in that position and I switched to Iberdrola. It just took a couple of online emails (in English) and a contract arrived next day.The changeover (which does not involve anything more that some changes on their database) was done at the end of the month.
