Constant loss of power servicetimes last wknd, several times during the week, and now today
Since Duke has taken over from Progress Energy, their service has went from poor to terribleWe have hundreds of outages per yearWe had last weekend, several during the week, and we now are experiencing yet another outageThis is unacceptableThere is no excuse they can give which is valid at this pointIf it is because of limbs falling on lines, trim the limbs, faulty equipment? Repair itIf there were any other way to get power from another vendor, I would do so, even if the price were much higher....but the power companies have a monopoly on service in their areasThis should be illegal

A portion of our subdivision affecting households continuously looses power, at times even during sunny weather
A portion of our subdivision often (about once a month) looses power for several hoursThis sometimes occurs during storms, but many other times during sunny or very minor rainfallsThe row of homes east of me hardly ever looses power, while starting from my house moving west there are about homes that loose power continuouslyWe were told by Duke reps that we are on a different portion of the grid that is old and too expensive to improve, implying that there would not be any changesThe last event was today, where after one brief gust of wind of 16mph our neighborhood again lost power at 5pmThe automated service tells us it should be restored at 8:As usual the houses on my right have power, while myself and the neighbors on the left are in the darkThis is getting to be a bug, big nuisance

I received no satisfactory answer, and this was only the icing on the cake to the complaints I have had in the three years I have had to be with this crappy Duke Energy! They claim to work with you, but when I first started using Duke Energy I was a single mom of three and had a month I was struggling to pay my bill I would have the money days from the due date, so I called to have them "work with me" as they claim to do I was told they can not do that and if I do not pay by the due date my electric would be shut o

Duke is the worst Our bill skyrocketed three times and Duke wasn't willing to do anything about it or work with us to lower it, despite there not being any reason for the bill to go up I am left with only one conclusion: Duke is in the business of ripping people off And their customer "lack of" service is laughable They followed up with me only to tell me things I already discussed with them, and transferred me to people who I had to discuss everything with new over and over again It's enough to make one move to another county to not have to deal with it
