Any provider that doesn't cause me any headaches is perfect in my books. Never had an issue, rates are good, no need to question quality of service.

I like this provider because they are reliable and you can be assured that they follow through with the product they supply. I have not in 22 years been without this gas supply. We use it primarily for cooking and hot water provision which is essential on both fronts.

I live in Western Australia and we don't have a choice when it comes to our energy providers. In saying that, Alinta Energy do what they are meant to do such as (supplying my household with gas), and I have never had an issue with them. I have no idea if they are competitive or not as I literally have nothing to compare them to. The only complaint I have is about their website. If I want to see my account balance with them, I have to navigate through several other pages, which is really only a minor inconvenience, but still a bit of a pain.
