Do all Entergy customers lose electricity often or is that just a local thing?

There is an area in my parish where one side of the street is Entergy, and the other is a local co-op.

The Entergy side of the street has service disruptions constantly, and they take a very long to restore power. The other side rarely loses electricity and unless there is a hurricane, it gets restore very quickly.

Is this a statewide trend or does Entergy only suck locally?

Whenever they need to squeeze the numbers, little outage here or there never hurt

From everything I've heard and experienced, Entergy just sucks.

We've been in our home for nearly a decade now and have Entergy. I could probably count on a single hand the amount of times we've lost power (the entire area has buried lines).

We have LUS (Lafayette Utilities System) and it frustratingly never goes out. We bought a fancy whole home generator 2 years ago, and I have been waiting for the electricity to go out so we can use it.

We have Entergy and lose power often. Sometimes even on clear, sunny days.

Depends on whether transmission lines are buried, TBH.

We get enough rain and wind during storms that I got used to one of my previous houses losing power intermittently because a wet branch would cause a short circuit. And that gets worse if a line servicing large areas gets knocked out by a downed tree or a dumbass driver.

Entergy just sucks arse and there is 0 we can do about it as taxpaying consumers other than taking it in the arse or moving somewhere else. We love our monopolies don't we folks?
