This is now the fourth month where they're trying to say my usage is higher than its ever been in my home, double what it was last March. I'm fighting this now, this is getting ridiculous.

Have you contacted the PUC about this?

I have now after my conversations with PPL.

Oy. Have they responded? I filed an informal complaint, and the investigator never once reached out. Apparently, they contacted PPL, who gave them the same spiel as usual ("it's not us! They somehow just used double the usual amount of electricity during this exact same time!"). The PUC believed them for some reason and dismissed the case. They said they wouldn't reach out to me for my side of the story unless I had appealed it to a formal complaint, which I'm now planning to do. This apparently starts a legal proceeding with a judge and a hearing, though. It's ridiculous.

Not yet, but it was this morning. Glad to know they're basically worthless. PPL told me I can pay them to replace my meter and I'll get that back if it's inaccurate.

Idk if they're 100% worthless, but they're definitely not nearly as good as I initially thought. I'm probably going to do the legal proceedings anyways. I'm fully expecting a class-action lawsuit at this point. I just don't know how that gets started.
