Electricity... they are all the same... we have had 4 in the past 5 years and it's the same thing. One time we had a problem with our power and they told us to call centerpoint, which is the provider. If by better you mean cheaper, go to powertochose.org and get the cheapest one.... that's what I have done in the past 4 years...

I've been using Reliant for my electricity since 1980 (before it was Reliant). I know most people shop around regularly for lower prices but I like Reliant enough that the small difference in price occasionally isnt worth all the hassle of changing providers. And Reliant offers a free Home Energy Audit which is awesome.

I use Comcast for my internet, phone and cable. I know most people arent fond of Comcast but the truth is that I've never had any problems. I've always found it to have good quality and reliability. My experience with their customer service has always been very good too and they're apparently working on making it even better now.

I just signed up for my second 6 month fixed rate plan with Amigo, they seem to be a stable company with good rates and easy payment system.

You can compare all the providers at powertochoose.org

Amigo also offers a promo code that would get me and you $25 off if you decided to go with them, here is mine: 95922

The variable rate plans are basically gimmicks to lure you into a low rate for the first month and then jack your rate up after that, so I would avoid them.

Let's ask this first: What research have you done yourself and what part of it is confusing for you?
