      9/2022 my electric bill jumped from 234 to 620 a month which is outrageous because 3 ppl moved out in June and the bill be going up since then with no help just a bs excuses I'm not the only one complaining. There's plenty of people complaining about them and nobody's doing nothing about that. How outrageous prices that they're charging us for the same usage that we've been using or either some people even less. But the bill is just getting higher and higher and higher using the heat as an excuse. When I just got my roof done, I got better installation and everything in my bill is higher than it was when it was less insulated. Something's wrong here. We need help. We need a solution. We don't even want them to change their prices. We want the opportunity to go with whatever company wants we want to because they have monopolized the whole area so we are not able to even go to other companies around us because of them and they're not treating the customers right and for us not to have an option. This is just very unfair and it's not helping anybody especially at the unprecedented time that we're dealing with now with the pandemic and everything and Lord work hours and lower pay. So I feel like someone needs to step in and let us out of this monopolized area that the United corporation services have done and the prices are just unbearable. You can't live with them

      I have been paying for internet services that are not being provided on a constant basis. I have reported this several times and spent hours on the phone and still no resolution and no management is willing to get this resolved. Account 240308-001. I pay $69.99/mo for 500 Mbps download but I am always at 50 Mbps daily. The lowest service they offer is $54.99/mo for 100 Mbps download and I dont even get provided that level of service.
