Re: restriction

You can't compare the two. There is a whole different regulatory framework for 'essential' utilities than for Telco/BBI/TV providers

Although as far as I know it is only Water than currently can never be disconnected. For Gas and Electric the courts would first force pre-payment meters to be installed - including ordering right of entry (which both have an emergency buffer IIRC), and then if those were not paid the customer would be cut off with no override
