I FUCKING HATE OUR UTILITY COMPANIES HERE IN NOVA SCOTIA!!! I pay you fuckers every month the amount on my bill, why the fuck is the power company sending me out bill for a thousand dollars at the end of the year? They claim, the bill amounts have only been estimates, their meter reader wasn’t able to get in to see the meter and that I actually owe over a grand! I am a student! Where do you expect me to come up with a grand on the fly?? THEN, the other cocksucker of a company where I get internet and phone quoted me a package deal of 80 bucks per month but yet the monthly bills are much higher. Why the fuck do I have a bill here for 290 dollars??!!! What am I supposed to do to earn this much money so my shit doesn’t get disconnected? Why are you flat out lying to my face when quoting your monthly fees but sending out fraudulent bills whenever you fucking FEEL like it in ANY AMOUNT that you see FIT??? Sending customers out a bill even a DIME above the amount quoted, should be ILLEGAL!!! Your company made a verbal contract! Where are you pulling these amounts from, your fucking ass? No wonder there are so many panhandlers, prostitutes and drug dealers in our province — they are just trying to pay their fucking power & internet bills! This monopoly is ridiculous! Do you think people have over a grand hanging out their ass-back pocket? Fuck off utility power houses! FUCK off and die. I hate you so much that if there were any other competitors, I would gladly cancel my account with you bastards. These are unfair business practices against consumer rights… leaving Nova Scotians penniless! When you think about the intangible “product” of energy or a signal to some stupid satellite in the sky – what we are getting shouldn’t cost a fortune. Some countries even have free wifi for all its citizens. Here in Canada, we gotta capitalize on everything – what’s next? Charging people to breath the air? I hope people buy solar paneling for their homes and buy ‘the magic jack’ to rise above these monopolizing motherfuckers. YOU MAKE ME SICK! —flat out FUCKED

One could always hook up a wind generator for power and have homing pigeons to act as internet.
op, if you have a package deal on phone/internet/tv it doesn’t cover everything. did you order pay per view movies? did you go over your dataplan on the phone?
for the power bill, they would estimate based on previous years use. if that was you, you have suddenly increased your power draw. if it was a former resident, either they froze in the dark or you like to tan in high 40’s. you are drawing almost 100$ more per month than last year. the rates have not gone up enough to account for the difference.
it sounds like this is your first year paying utility bills. a good life lesson.
if you didn’t realize that basic packages don’t mean unlimited packages lick your wounds and learn from it. don’t blame the universe, or the system, or ‘the man’ for your naivete. this kind of stuff is actually under YOUR control. you determine what you pay by what you use. your choice. if you want to order 5 pay movies over the weekend you going to pay for them. ‘just sayin’ . if you feel too tired to cook from scratch and order a $20 pizza you are going to pay $20 for a $5 dinner. ‘just sayin’ . if you want new furniture RIGHT NOW and buy from one of those places that would finance my dog, you are going to get cheap furniture that will look like crap 3 years before you stop paying for it. ‘just sayin’.
if you really want to harangue the universe for something, howl about all the mass media pressure to cave in on immediate gratification. of course its alluring. so are you a lemming? or an individual?
(klyde, your latest pigeon pooped all over my computer – message received!)
Um, the power company is a monopoly, the cable/phone/internet companies are not.
Did you actually read your bill and see what the charges were for, like hook ups and things not included in your plan or did you just read the numbers and decided to go on a rant?
Oh and by the way taxes and other things like Efficiency Nova Scotia, 911, etc are not included in the plans.
While it feels unfare…
I do agree they suck.
I’m not sure how they could get away with the grand in back payments.
That sounds ridiculous, though I have noticed the ol’ power bill getting higher and higher every year as they get approved for more and more hikes.
As for your net/phone provider… that’s on you bub.
they’re luxuries, not requirements of life.
Hello Flatfuck – this sort of monopolistic capitalist exploitation will eniveitably be demolished by thye people, united. Only when the masses have been liberated from the tyranny of individualism, and have every decision made for them by a central authority can they ever be truly free.

LMAO…It couldn’t have been my pigeon, must have been the neighbors. I have to start training them to get IM’s to all my friends, and when they are done active duty, welcome to the dinner plate. This world may come to that someday.
A suggestion, you could always move and allow their utility companies to knob job your wallet?
Hey flat out FUCKED
Too bad you don’t have as much money as me. I am very well off from my very successful business on Spring Garden Road. I have an expensive car and fart into $200 panties.
I hate both the Electric Company and Water Works unless I can get them both. It’s the railroads baby, that’s where the money is. Reading, Pennsylvania, B&O and …uh.. the other one.
Sorry, OP didn’t read your post but the title kind of gave it away.
Everyone always forgets the short line….
I personally always try to snag Baltic and Mediterranean.
Loves me the slums…
Pfft. I like the properties around the jail. It gives a drop-off point for smugglin’ contraband in.
Hey, dumbfuck, here’s how the “budget plan” works…your power is not “all included” for 225/month, its whatever the last years power consumption was decided by 12. If you use more power than they “estimate” your usage SHOULD be BASED on the previous tenants consumption history, you pay more money.
Also, the extra charges on your cable/internet bill are called taxes and fees. It’s what you and I going to be paying a lot of to pay for all our greedy “boomer” parent/grandparents pensions.
Fucking hipsters, there’s so much you don’t know!!
Divided, fuck you autocorrect!!!!!
“Hey, dumbfuck,”
What a low thing to call someone.
The only thing that’s low in here is your IQ, ya dumbfuck!!!
