-1. Again, with their variable re rate they promise you to be a % lower than Con Ed. What I and countless others here have experienced, is that's it's a lie, total BS. They wind up being more expensive than Con Ed.
Now, this was written dozens of times already... You Ambit defenders just seem to never get it (or you're making so much gelt off other people losing their pants, that you're in denial?!)
You and others think so. It may be true, it may be not true. There are many others on Ambit that are happy in NY as well. I know a number of people in NY that got checks in the end of 12 months not only to make up the difference if they were higher than coned, but also to make sure that they were indeed 1% cheaper.
But regardless you Ambit bashers have one thing in mind, to bash Ambit. Im not here to defend Ambit at the moment. I am in agreement, that Ambit in NY, can sometimes be higher and therefore convince you that they are higher. But you will have to agree as well that there are months that they are also lower. But that's all because its a VARIABLE rate in NEW YORK, so nothing is clear and you would to need to have 12 physical Ambit bills vs 12 physical Coned bills from the same neighberhood or block with the EXACT billing cycle to make an exact cheshbon to see who was higher.
I myself would be hesitant to sign up with a variable rate!
MY POINT IS THAT IF YOU GET A "FIXED" RATE FROM ANY OF THESE COMPANIES AND YOU LIKE IT, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF SINCE ITS "FIXED"! In "New York" Ambit does not have a fixed rate (since coned doesn't either publish their rates in advance), and therefore there will always be doubters, and rightfully so, since you cant see clearly black on white. But in New Jersey since Jcp&l publishes their rates 6+ months in advance, and so does Ambit, and therefore Ambit offers you a choice of a variable rate or a "fixed" rate for 12 months. Now, their variable rate in NJ is more than 25% cheaper than Jcp&l, while their fixed rate is only around 15% cheaper, yet I would only recommend someone to go with the fixed rate, Because its fixed!
So im not arguing with you, im agreeing in NY that there can be problems, but those problems exist with ANY company that's only giving you a variable rate. Its not isolated to Ambit only. Im not saying Ambit is ripping off their NY customers and im not saying they are not. Thats something anyone needs to decide if they want to trust Company x or not when its just a VARIABLE rate.
Somehow New Jersey Ambit customers that have a FIXED rate, are not complaining.
