    Only the energy regulator gets price increases reduced delayed. Tv and broadband dont come under this, there is no price control. Basically they interperate the law in simple language for the consumer

    It's a free market, not communist Russia. Companies can charge whatever they like, it's up to you, as a consumer, to make a choice. If everybody chose the cheaper option, then the market price would come down.

    There is no 'Department of Consumer Affairs'. Who exactly did you ring?

    NCA, I presume. I used to work for them, and a lot of people would ring and say "Is this the Department of Consumer Affairs?"
