- The source notes that internal switching refers to a customer changing tariff, payment method or account management (online/offline) with their existing supplier. Internal tariff switching only includes tariff changes that, as a minimum, represent ‘active choices’. For example a customer switching by default from a dead tariff to a cheaper evergreen tariff may not reflect an active choice.
