I had a concern that my new smart meter was not connecting following an earlier call 2 days earlier. Monicque checked the connection following the earlier actions of her colleague Sharon and confirmed now connected and raised a bill. Very friendly efficient and reassuring, excellent service as I would expect from Octopus Energy.

Energy Prices are a Con

Customer Service Agent I spoke to was brilliant, 10 out of 10 to her. Unfortunately the cost of energy is ridiculous. To be told that the energy companies have no control over this is absolute nonsense. If conflict in the Middle East is the cause then take it up with the perpetrators, why should I pay for another person's mistakes. The energy companies are scamming us.

Excellent company

Excellent company. Excellent customer services. Back to how it used to be a long time ago when just one phone call would get you through to a real person that could take care of the issue without being passed from pillar to post!

Excellent as always.

Excellent as always. I wanted a new account linked in to my customer portal and a direct debit setting up. The whole process was completed in under 10 minutes by someone who actually knew what they were talking about in a UK call centre. Could not have been easier.
