I am willing to bet though that they will still charge a large re-connect fee 
even though
it will cost them nothing to do so.

PPL was in the national news (WSJ?) yesterday.  Evidently they are trying to 
set 
p their digitial computers to shut off gas without having a gas man to go to 
roperty once the user is $10 past due.  Now, it is able to shut off if you 
are 
30 past due, but it cost them more than that to send gas man to the property. 
 
nce all digital, computer can auto-cut-off $10 past due.  cold

 PPL just (last month) sold the residential gas service to
 UGI. That's 
 when the rate jumped by about $1/dekatherm. It's now
 $13.5311/DT plus 
 all the other "give us money" surcharges.
 
 We have a local electric company that buys power, so our
 rates change 
 all the time.
