Ambit Energy is a great opportunity for people looking save on their energy cost and at the same time help others save on their energy costs. Currently Ambit is the #1 Top earning company as per INC 500 Magazine. Do I need to say any more?

We just made a major announcement of expanding markets and we are now able to offer the same savings opportunity to small businesses in TX.
I can go on and on about how great Ambit Energy is. Three thumbs up .. oops sorry I only have two thumbs.

I'm new with Ambit. Selling it in New York and Illinois. Started October 2009. I've already made my $400 back so anything else at this point is profit.
So now I just need to worry about what I have sold to the people. It seems to me, that a company that leans toward a word of mouth and a referal system to get its customers can only do well if it is keeping most of it's customers happy.
I'm pretty sure that you will find more complaints than prasie (as with any company). Just look up any popular company with the word complaints and you will find a bunch. Heck FedEx has a 5! failure rate. That's like 100,000 people every day.
Most people don't bother to post or call when they are happy.
But again, if Ambit is all lies, how can they build the company enough to stay in buisiness? Being a legitimate company, wouldn't it make more since for them to deliver on their promise when ever they can? (most of the time)
I believe that some people have had problems, but for them to be a total fraud as a whole, just doesn't quite add up.

Onedeep,

With any electric provider you should always call your TDSP pole and wires company first and ask them for the recorded meter reading since they are the companies that read your electric meter. In the Dallas area it is Oncor electric delivery, in the Houston area it is Centerpoint. They can email you the exact kwh of usage.

Since the TDSP is the company that reads the meter they are the ones to call first. The data they send the retail electric provider is then put on your bill. If that data is wrong and the provider put it down on your bill as they received it the blame is on the TDSP company.

This could be easily resolved by calling your TDSP company and getting the usage data for the meter read dates on the bill you are having an issue with. You can then send this data over to Ambit Energy and end this problem a little quicker.

I would save all correspondence with Ambit Energy as when and if you file a complaint with the PUCT you will have evidence on what you tried to do to resolve the issue with your retail electric provider before complaining to the PUCT.

Chances are by sending the data over to Ambit Energy you can get this issue fixed right away. This is only my opinion and what I would do if I was in your situation.

To anyone out there looking for an energy provider, PLEASE WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT SIGN UP FOR AMBIT, about 2 months ago we received a bill for almost $600, this was almost double my last bill, so thinking this was wrong i went out and checked my meter and sure enough they had charged us 1200kw more than what we had used. We called customer service to have this fixed. Needless to say i have spent the last month going back and forth with different customer service reps, each one telling me something different, connecting me to supervisors (who dont exist the next time i call in)and notes are never made to the account like they said it would, so each time i call in i have to start over. Now not only is our bill wrong and they have tacked on a late fee (even though they told us not to pay it until our issue was resolved)but our electricity will be turned off in a few days because they still havent heard back from them.
AMBIT REALLY SUCKS, SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE

explainit: what an excellent research you made; it's so such an accurate depiction of what this business is all about!

I joined Ambit about two months ago as a consultant. I'm one of the top producers at my current job and none of my skills have worked when it comes to convincing people to join with ambit. $429.99 start up fee is really a stretch and ridiculous – no matter how good of a persuader you are. I hate the fact that this money is used to distribute it to my up lines whom don't give a flip about you. I have signed up some customers who used less than 500 kilowatts in a given billing cycle and they get hit with a fee of $10 when you consume less than 1000 kilowatts per month – what a handsome rip off. I have been contacted by these customers ( which happen to be friends of mine) to cancel service. Not only do they get hit with a $10 fee but as a consultant I also don't get any residual from customers who use less than 500 kilowatts. I left ambit last week and have a big portfolio of prospects to enroll under Affordable Energy. Now I can sell residential and commercial from a local Houston company that will pay me around $4-6 per customer monthly residual as oppose to $.50 from Ambit. What an ideal company Affordable Energy is!!! I met face to face with the founder and he's really looking out for you and me, and not keeping it all for himself. A $99 initial fee is the reasonable amount I was looking for to recruit and grow my organization.

Please contact me if you have any questions about my face to face meeting with the founder consultant at gilmer.svm@gmail.com

Isn't the deregulation of energy fun??? Look at what it has stirred up (see all comments above). Welcome to America, where we are proud to have the right to choose. Americans have a choice (repeat that). Whether they are happy about the choice they made or not. This comes from experience. If anyone is or has been treated with a bad experience, hopefully you move on. Again, another experience. If you are happy with the experience, then you will stay with it or experience it again and share this experience with others. We have this right to try something to feel it, to experience it. Some experiences are not so good and at times our experience is more costly then others. Again, a lesson learned. In Texas, there is a website that provides a list of energy providers. The site is http://powertochoose.org. There you have the ability to key in your zip code and find an abundant list of providers and their rates. Again, another choice. You do the research and make the choice. Just don't complain about the bad choices you made or not thoroughly explain the details that got you there. And in most in what I see above, there lies the problem. Have fun. Good luck and success to all. And as my father once told me, "Make good choices, you'll be a happier person".

I meant to include this. If you are in Texas, Bounce might be worth a good look.

May 5, 2008
Notice: Riverway Power recently canceled their residential electric customers agreements in mid April according to several people who called in and left comments regarding them so we do not recommend using them as their fixed electric rate is subject to change. Our preferred electric providers at this time are Affordable Energy, Startex Energy and Bounce Energy Guaranteed No Deposit. All of these Texas electric companies have accurate billing, good customer service and low rates.

As a note, many are very happy with Bounce Energy and their no deposit policy.
