His point is to have urban level utilities would incur that kind of a premium, ergo if you didn't pay that premium don't expect urban utility service.

- rwbcxrz 7y agoRight, and I absolutely agree with that. When I bought my house, I had no expectation that utility services would be the same. While my neighbors and I have some complaints about the quality of our internet service, we're looking for 15-25Mbps, not 100Mbps, and certainly not 1Gbps. But GP's first sentence was mainly what I was trying to address: > I am all for utility companies cutting service to rural areas, for cost savings or otherwise. If my electric and gas providers suddenly decided that I was too expensive to serve and cut me off, I'd be out in the range of $20-30k to install batteries, a generator (since solar might not be adequate in the middle of winter), and to convert my heating from natural gas to propane.
