I'm sure a lot of forum members are also "members" of NH Electric Coop as well and I'm sure you notice the $20.00 "member fee" every month on your bill. Well, I have three meters with NHEC and pay $20.00 "member fee" for each meter. When I call NHEC and protest that I should only pay one member fee of $20.00 per month, the "member fee" magically changes to a "meter fee". Therefore, I pay these robbers $60.00/month right off the top. There is no bigger ripoff in NH as far as I'm concerned.  |
AMEN!
And did you know that NHEC is planning
THREE price hikes in the next 12 months? No kidding. They should total to another 40% increase.
But wait - didn't they just have a huge increase in 2008?
Yup. They did. And it was about 40% then.
When I contacted my state reps to complain I heard NOTHING back from all but one of them who had the nerve to complain that she couldn't get cable where she lived. (Boo-hoo.) Cable isn't a "need" - electricity is a need - at least in the modern world we live in. (Please don't think I'm dismissing your point This'n'That - not at all.)

ThisNThat - Do you have Verizon in your area? If so, maybe check if they are offering their new FiOS service - it's like cable but with more channels for less money. There's also web TV but there may be issues with local channels.
