About 18 months ago I took up the Genesis unlimited gas plan (well I think it's up to about 34K kWh ). That was for $129

The last winter being what it was (in Wellington) I guess I was a bit casual in gas usage leaving the wall furnace on longer than I would normally (normally 7-9am and 6-10pm and often many hours in the weekend but never overnight).

Today I received a letter to say that the plan was now over (honeymoon is over) and I should go on their new unlimited plan at 34K kWh for $249. Asked what I had used for the past 12 months they said 29K.

I am a bit annoyed by that and plan to go to pay as you burn or check out the competition, especially with the onset of summer and much less gas usage. But to hike up rates by over 100% is a bit off putting.

Anybody else face this situation?
