  • Customer Service: Look for a provider that offers strong customer support, including prompt response to queries and quick resolution of problems.
  • Billing and Payment Options: Some people prefer paper bills, others like online billing. Some want to pay via direct debit, others by credit card. Make sure the provider’s billing and payment options suit your needs.
  • Environmental Impact: If sustainability is important to you, you may want to consider a provider that offers renewable energy options or has strong environmental policies in place.
  • Terms and Conditions: Read the fine print to understand the provider’s terms and conditions, including any penalties for early termination of the contract, if applicable.
