Recommendations / Re: Downed Utility Line - Frontier

« Last post by lwt42 on Jan 22, 25, 04:05:25 PM »

That did the job. PUC called back and asked me to email them photos. Next day phone call from the Area Manager/Apologist from Frontier and then a call from the tech saying he'd be at my place in 15 minutes.

This works because Frontier can't change (raise) prices without permission from the PUC, and when a "rate case" comes before the commission, they look at how many complaints they've received -- not necessarily big or little, just the count.

Usually, telling them you're going to call is enough.

If Frontier won't help, you might offer to call the Public Utilities Commission on their behalf.
