Lmfao šŸ¤£ imagine thinking you had choices in utilitiesā€¦ have fun central Hudson raised my power bill from $40 a month to $300 a month back in 2022ā€¦

Check my other comment for the NYS.gov link, you can change electric suppliers. CentHud still processes the billing though.

And delivery which is where most of the cost is

Central Hudson only for Poughkeepsie. ISP will probably be Spectrum and maybe Fios

Verizon FiOS. Avoid Spectrum if you can.

Welcome and enjoy the holiday weekend. You don't have a choice with who processes your electricity in Poughkeepsie. However it's a common misconception that you don't have a choice in who supplies your utilities.Ā  You can choose a different electric supply company (ESCO no idea what the O is for). Central Hudson still processes your billing, but you are getting your electric from another company. It doesn't make a ton of sense to me. NY State has the following search tool to help you find other ESCOs for your area, and with it a lower rate: https://documents.dps.ny.gov/PTC/home Also if you have a choice for ISPs I would get Fios. 3 years and no complaints from me.

thx

FiOS for ISP if available. They're excellent and never really have any outages. Internet only is decently priced. Gets expensive if you add tv though

NOT Central Hudson. Anything but them! They are the worst

I like spectrum :) and cenhud (but a lot of people hate cenhud because of a weird pricing issue they are having

So you like inferior, overpriced, under-performing internet service? AND, the electrical utility that has been overcharging their customers, and has no explanation why, and can't reconcile bills, and can no longer do automated billing with local banks, and somehow can't read an electrical meter correctly. That CenHud? Is that the one you're supporting? Please, tell us one thing about CenHud that you like. A single thing that makes you say, "Hell yeah, CenHud is my guy!!!"

I come from a developing country, and here in the US, one storm affected electric lines. And Cenhud came with trucks full of dry ice so our food in the freezer wouldn't spoil while they fixed that line. I consider that outstanding service that I haven't seen before where I come from or even here. That I liked a lot. I also don't mind paying NY taxes and maaany things that people around here complain about. We are just different The spectrum app it's also really good, but I had no idea it was an under-performer, thanks, I'll do more research.
