gas : British Gas have been steadily losing customers since privatisation - they've lost nearly half. why? people getting a better deal elsewhere?
BT: used to take up to 6 months to install a line now 2 weeks
Electricity 8 countries in Europe pay more for electricity than we do
Of course state ownership does provide some economies of scale. I suspect, SSE, EON, Centrica etc, would all spend less on salaries, buildings,IT etc as one, but would they offer the customer a better deal if they weren't competing.
