Yup, things are far from perfect when it comes to the utilities but let's not kid ourselves that they were better in the past and wouldn't have been even further neglected if the state had continued to run them. The reason things got so bad was because successive governments failed to tackle the serious and hugley expensive problems which were stacking up. Add into the equation all the new eco rules/regulations which have since come into force and you can see why the additional burden on the companies (and therefore their customers) is so great.
