Not so smart ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

There is only one reason why they would want to introduce smart meters ?
Because it means more profit for them !
Now they can start charging you more for power during peak periods.
More profits for them means more money you will be paying.
Count on it,
The vast majority will end up paying more !

We had a letter last year saying our meter was old and needed replacing .... A very long letter outlining the virtues of smart meters.... Plus a single line saying we didn't have to have one......so we have a shiny new dumb meter....

That made me smile, a shiny new dumb meter will do for me as well.
Maybe we should all start a let's keep dumb meters, movement.

Apologies for jumping down your throat the other day buddy, there was no need for it.

if something sound too good to be true then it's probably is. I'm just cynical I guess, but i don't believe for one second that energy companies are doing this to save their customers money, after all money you save is money they lose.

If asked by customers about Smart meters, I always advise against having them.... until the providers can:

1. Prove they are accurate
2. You don't need a meter change when you want to change suppliers

Until then a shiny new "old" meter is the way to go.

Had mine fitted this week its a good thing IMO as i can now see what im using and when the misses is in the shower i now know when to flick the mcb off at the board when shes using to much electric as it tells me how much its costing me LOL .
Maybe another reason for the install is to enable the suppliers to lay off loads of meter readers as they no longer need to read my meter or any others that have had smart meters installed.
