Admittedly I didn't expect it to be at 7:10pm.
They opened with the assumption that I was making the switch to PowerShop because of the 20% discounted weekend electricity, a notion of which I quickly disabused them. Their counter offer was interesting though - a 20% prompt payment discount (through to April) instead of the usual 10% (effectively a 20% discount on -all- my electricity use + their daily + the levy).
It was enough to make me pause, but not enough to make me change my mind. Better data > extra $5-$15 a month.
