My thoughts

 I have been a customer of CL&P for many years. I have heard of others who use different suppliers as they have a lower rate to start off with then the rate jumps up rally high after the trail period is over and they are locked into it as they signed into a intact end deal. I figure the company had ne in business so long and the rates are reasonable so why switch.

Scammers

 Doesn't matter how little you use your electricity they will always make you pay a ridiculous amount. There are families with zero electricity because you keep rasing the rates. You'd rather rob people of their money vs actually doing something helpful. It's been 1k for 2 years we barely use anything!!! What's the point of paying this company when all they care about it scamming people and leaving people on the streets!!

Crooks and cheats

 I am currently in the dark because I was not informed by Eversource that I needed to set up an account in my name. I did not receive a notice of disconnection. I mentioned this to customer service who, thanks to company policy, are not helpful at all. The earliest they can send someone is tomorrow, so am I supposed to freeze till then and have my food spoil?! It's winter for crying out loud! This is criminal especially when the company bigwigs voted themselves raises. In short, Eversource sucks!

Very nasty customer service phone agent

 CHRIS was the customer service agent and hes very nasty, laid back and sounds as if it was a bother for him to help a NEW PAYING customer to get set up. Nasty! There are other electric companies available to be putting up with very disrespectful attitudes
