[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3821349, member: 3099"] I used to be on it. You really need to read up on the Smart Hours. It used to be that you would pay 1/2 the normal rate for non-peak hours so it could save you some coin if you cut back from 2:00 to 7:00. But since the rate increase to recoup fuel costs from the polar vortex icemegeddon last winter, you are actually paying normal rate for non-peak hours and the variable increased rate during peak hours. So you are actually paying more than you would be if not on the plan. Yes they are charging the same normal rate for non-peak hours, I looked it up myself when I heard about it. Aaron Tuttle posted this up on farcebook awhile back and they had a ton of people calling to cancel. I don't blame them. Unless they've corrected their rates I'd be jumping off that train ASAP.
