This is not how we want to serve you. This is not how we want to run our business. We are in the business of providing power. Not taking power away. So we feel the impact of the decision.

Bill johnson apologize for all the technical problems and me mised to get them right me. R xtour maneps are inconsistent. Perhaps incorrect. Our call centers were overloaded.
