I have Escambia River, and they do not disregard their customers. At least not to my knowledge. They are the nicest company I've ever dealt with. I have had a power surge problem since I moved here quite a few years ago. However they have checked this out and we had it checked out on this end, and none of us have found the problem. It is pointing more and more towards a direct lightening strike years before we moved here. It could be a fulgarite problem, affecting grounding.

We have the worst power service of anywhere I have ever lived. Nearly every day I need to re-record the outgoing message on my answering machine. The clock on my microwave is constantly blinking and needing to be reset. I’ve had computers damaged, lost data on my hard drive, and back when we had modems I lost several of them because of this. It’s like living in a third world country and the PSC doesn’t want to do anything about it. We need a public uprising against Gulf Power for their crappy service and blatant disregarded of their customers. My power blinks off and then back on 5 or 6 times a week almost once a day.
