Wake Forest: Utilities/Internet Suggestions (Raleigh: rental, house, neighborhood)

[3girlsnomoney]

We're moving into our rental house in Wake Forest next week and as I was going to sign up for the utilities noticed there are several options. Wondered if one company was less expensive and/or superior to another.

Here is the list of providers from Wake Forest's website: Utility Billing - Town of Wake Forest, NC

Also, can you recommend a good internet provider? We are planning to cut the TV cord so this is important!

Thanks in advance for your help!

For internet, it's likely your only choice for fast enough service for streaming is Time Warner. You'll only need to get the plan that gives you download speeds up tp 15mpbs.

IF your neighborhood has AT&T (and that's a big if), that might be an alternstive, but watch out for contact terms.

You actually don't have any choice for any of your utilities - you simply set up service with the one company that happens to serve the area where your house is located. For electric, if your place is within the town limits of Wake Forest, then Wake Forest Power (the municipal utility) will likely be your electric provider. Some outlying areas are served by Wake Electric or Progress Energy.

PSNC is the sole provider for natural gas, and your water provider will be either the City of Raleigh (if you're inside town limits) or Aqua of NC. Again, no choice on either of those counts.
