Can you tell me why all the electric providers charge an extra fee for using less than 1000 kilowatts per month? Aren’t we suppose to be trying to conserve energy? Yet, we are punished when we do so.

You definitely have nothing to lose by calling and asking TXU to bargain with you. In fact, it’s the natural next step. If you sign a contract, make sure the rate is in the 9′s or 10s, though.

About your "contract:" They slide you into various plans. Many people don’t know how they got in the plan they are in. They didn’t understand the choices. They bought it from a door-to-door guy (WORST way to buy electricity) or from a heavy-handed phone solicitor. You have to ask them specifically what you have and then go look it up for more information. Every plan has a "Terms of Service" which tells you exactly what you are getting. It’s the legal document. And also a basic label that gives you the barebones.

Have you ever had success or heard of others having success asking TXU to match a competitor’s rate? I currently have 10.99 for the first 126 KWH and 12.33 for the next level of usage with TXU. Is it worth a call to see if they would match the lower rates offered by competitors, even if it means I have to sign a contract?

Also, if you’ve had service with TXU for many years as I have, how can I have a contract unless it is a month to month? I have never signed anything or agreed to anything since I started service years ago. And I actually read everything they send me. There has never been any mention of a new contract, etc.

Yes, you are right. With more customers, they would have a ratio of more complaints that should not reflect poorly on them. (But if you talk to their disgruntled customers, maybe it should!)
12.3 is good, but if you can get a niner, you should consider it.

I don’t think it would be worth all the trouble it would cause in your life. Plus, there’s a 45-day switch that would mess things up for you pretty good.
