The Egg account pays 5.5% for 6 months
The best longer range fix is probably the Bristel & West 1 year bond fixed at 5.31%
Theres also the HERITABLE BANK 3 Yr Fixed Rate Bond Bond pays 5.36% |

I just looked at the egg site and can't see any mention of the 5.5% offer ?

See details of this fixed rate bond below -
The High Interest Fixed Rate Bond allows you to do just that. Invest a lump sum, between £5,000 and £250,000 for one year or three years, and in return you will receive an attractive interest rate of 5.85% or 6.05% guaranteed for the full term.
Interest is credited annually and can be either added to your capital or credited to a separate account. Tax is payable and will be deducted at Standard Rate, currently 20%. Investors of £50,000 and above can elect to receive interest gross. At the end of the term, you may choose to re-invest in a new bond or similar investment, or have your capital repaid.
High Interest Fixed Rate Bonds are available for a limited period only and may close early if oversubscribed.
Invest and earn more.
• One year term fixed interest rate of 5.85%
• Three year term fixed interest rate of 6.05%
• Invest between £5,000 and £250,000
