How are ya getting shafted now. (Denver: apartments, houses, utilities)

[dwntwnradar]

We are moving back to Denver. We left 4 years ago, and are wondering how the price of utilities has changed. Has cox gone up for instance. I am trying to plan a budget but only have 4 year old bills. We will be in 2bdrm apt. Currently in Vegas so can guess the elec. is going to be way cheaper. LOL
Really, what has changed in the past 4 years?

What happened when you went to the Cox website, or telephoned them?

What happened at comcast you ask.....Well no address they can't give you a rate...the website wants you to give a name address and phone number and they will call you. The point is not about research. I will probly just go atalite if when I get there I don't like the price. However I know excel has raised there rates, how is that working? I will NEVER NEVER use quest again so I do not need that info, thank you. Has the gas gone up? I know the water rates have risen sharply, I am not to concerned looking at apartments, however we are looking at houses.

I think all of these are cheaper than where we are, but I am just asking how have the rate changes affected you. I can get estemants from all those companies, but they low ball the numbers are just plan lie.

I lived in a 2 bedroom apt last year and heat/electric from excel ranged from 50-65 in the summer and around 80-90 in winter.
