We have a smart meter. A bit miffed simply because it should allow you to bill in arrears, accurately. But for some reason the fecking supplier keeps trying to up our DD despite the fact that they know how much we are using and are always in credit.
Smart meter. Same stupid utility companies who want to use your cash to pump up their balance sheets.

Anyone had those new smart meters fitted?
Got a letter saying they could be fitted in my flat (ex council), arranged appointment, gas man came round this morning to say it could be done, but would take about 3 hours and had and electric would have to be turned off for the duration.
Which is fine, except when I made the booking no one mentioned it at all.
Is getting smart meters installed worth the mornings worth of hassle? Or is it another way for big gas/electric consortiums to get more usage consumption data to force you to pay more? (only slightly joking)
