What are the potential pitfalls involved (particularly in relation to switching suppliers) ? Have heard all sorts of vague rumors about a certain supplier being a "nightmare" but is there anything to this or is just FUD ?

If I switch and the new supplier suddenly puts up their prices or I am otherwise unhappy is it not just a matter of switching again or are there minimum contract terms, termination charges and other "catches". ?
