Met-Ed is a stable, caring company that has its customers exactly where they want them, bleeding them dry while the PUC allows them. I've been a M-E customer for 30 years and all I can say is that if they were not a monopoly, they would have been out of business years ago. Which sort of reminds me, what ever became of the COMPETITION program that was started around '99??? Did our idiotic PA government tax those companies out of business or do the utilities that operate in PA still own the state (do I hear Verizon, Columbia Gas, Met-Ed, Pen-Elec, etc)? Screw Met-Ed and screw the PA Public Utility Commision..... Aw, come.

I'm really starting to think it might be time to force the PUC to put some actual pressure on the utility companies for once. Why don't we have underground long-range transmission lines? Why don't we have more reliable above-ground runs? Why don't utilities get the tar fined out of them for failing to trim trees? For that matter, why are we allowing 30+ percent rate hikes in two years? There are too many whys, and the utilities will no doubt respond with "we are deeply concerned for our loyal customers and share in their frustration regarding the recent line reliability metrics. To that end, we vow to continue ensuring that out customers are our number one priority". I’m with you.

I have lived in this area now for more than 18 years and their level of competence and performance is nil. My home has experienced continual power fluctuations, and blips that cause the electronic equipment to reset and has damaged more than one piece of equipment. Having lived in a number of states, I have NEVER experienced such poor reliability and performance as I experience from this company. We were without power yesterday 12/16 for more than 7 hours and when I got a live person, it was obvious that my complaints are documented. Unfortunately they do nothing to resolve the problems we experience in our development. Its not fun leaving everyday and wondering if we will have power when we return. When my development was built they attempted to blame the problems on uncalculated current draw! One excuse after the other. Their tree trimming program is nearly non existent so no wonder they end up in this predicament. Anyone with half a sense could have predicted that the ice was going to create some level of problems. Wake up Met Ed. Perhaps we need to join together to file a class action lawsuit. Met-Ed has consistently shown me that they are enept.
