Do all Entergy customers lose electricity often or is that just a local thing?

There is an area in my parish where one side of the street is Entergy, and the other is a local co-op.
The Entergy side of the street has service disruptions constantly, and they take a very long to restore power. The other side rarely loses electricity and unless there is a hurricane, it gets restore very quickly.
Is this a statewide trend or does Entergy only suck locally?

Whenever they need to squeeze the numbers, little outage here or there never hurt

From everything I've heard and experienced, Entergy just sucks.

Entergy is pretty bad at providing electricity.
They are very good at charging fees and lobbying for public funding to pay for maintenance to their grid. . And they haven’t moved their HQ to Texas yet. So there is that at least.

In Texas and I have Entergy or am I missing something here?

We've been in our home for nearly a decade now and have Entergy. I could probably count on a single hand the amount of times we've lost power (the entire area has buried lines).

Entergy definitely has some infrastructure problems in my area. But to their credit, we do get some weather pretty often.

Yea but weather is one thing. It's the many inexplicable outages and blinks in the middle of a sunny day that get me. And of course they always claim ignorance when asked about it.

We have LUS (Lafayette Utilities System) and it frustratingly never goes out. We bought a fancy whole home generator 2 years ago, and I have been waiting for the electricity to go out so we can use it.

We have Entergy and lose power often. Sometimes even on clear, sunny days.

No, you have options though.
The folks in Louisiana live and die with one energy company. Their elected officials in each parish are wonderful.

I swear our electricity used to go out all the time before we got a whole house generator. Like you, ours has really only used for its regular tests.

Depends on whether transmission lines are buried, TBH.
We get enough rain and wind during storms that I got used to one of my previous houses losing power intermittently because a wet branch would cause a short circuit. And that gets worse if a line servicing large areas gets knocked out by a downed tree or a dumbass driver.

IIRC, there was a time in the past 10 years where the entire grid in the northern part of EBR went down for hours because some small animal became a crispy critter at a substation and caused a cascade failure.

I have no other option but it’s a unique circumstance

Yes, that helps but at some point those underground lines come out of the ground and tie into the existing, old, often outdated, dilapidated overhead grid system that is subject to wind damage.

Entergy just sucks arse and there is 0 we can do about it as taxpaying consumers other than taking it in the arse or moving somewhere else. We love our monopolies don't we folks?
