I think I need a little more help here. Maybe it's just about not having English as a native language, but the link talks about avoiding the word bug because of connections to sodomy?
Honestly asking, who gave them horrible reviews? Have seen some middling ones and support has some negative threads in the forum, but nothing really bad?
That split system is how it works where I live. Obviously it's quite difficult to have competition for the infrastructure. So I can choose who delivers power (well, I mean it comes from the same grid. But different companies buying power from the same spot market charge you different amounts 🤷) but the infrastructure is a monopoly. Not only do we pay a fixed fee for the infrastructure, but also a transfer fee (and taxes, and also taxes on the taxes)
So in the end I pay more for the infrastructure part than the power consumption.

It's never too late to give up!
