[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 612411, member: 1514"] I hate utility companies too. From what it sounds like, you are in a state that allows open competition. I dont. You have one choice for a company and that's it. They have you by the gonads and they know it. They can charge you what they want and you have to pay their prices or go without. Same with my cable company. I believe my rates would be lower if they had competition. I mean my cable/internet bill is 170 a month and that is without any of the extra's like HBO or Showtime. I really think that after football is over I will go down to the cheapest basic plan that only gives what you can get without a box and add a Roku and Chromecast box. Yeah I think I will have to put up an antenna for local channels (I think) but I could see almost everything else except my Redzone. I am going to see what I can do about that too. My electric bill is never under 200, most times more like 250 or higher. I dont have gas because we are total electric. Part of my electric bill is that I cant get people to turn off things when not in use. I went through the house and installed all those strips that you can flip off when things arent in use. That no ghost power deal. I cant get anyone to turn them off. Im hoping our new roof will help some with the power. From what they say, the color I got is energy saver. I dont know how that will work in the winter but from what they said, it reflects the sun instead of letting it back the house. [/QUOTE]
