Energy price freeze

I have just found this from Martin Lewis, which sounds promising for those on fixed tariffs too:

" Since the announcement, I have heard the discount that is being applied to the price-capped tariffs is likely to be applied to all tariffs, including fixes (the new 'price guarantee' will effectively work as a per pound discount off the unit rates of the pre-planned 1 October price cap rate). If this is correct, many fixes that currently look costlier than the price guarantee will end up cheaper. Earlier, the information I was told by the Government was that "all can get out of a fixed tariff without exit penalties". This may have changed, so that it is left up to firms. I will confirm when I know, but be careful acting on any of this before it is cast iron. "

I am with octopus on a fixed rate and the advice is to wait. Octopus always let us know the cheapest rate available. I am not moving anywhere, octopus is fab for customer service and value

Has the advice to wait been reiterated since today's announcement, karmalady?
I can see it still being valid advice if you have been on that tariff for quite a while, but maybe not if you've gone on it in recent months.
