Forced to have a smart Meter !!!??? ...... Where is that ?
I don't know where you are forced to have a Smart Meter !!!
Where I live I cannot get one if I ask !!!
That is with 3 different Suppliers, not to mention I am in a mobile 'not spot' where the signal is variable and inside the house is pot luck getting a connection. (apparently this is not a problem which is somewhat a surprise as this is the way the Smart Meters are supposed to deliver their data back to the 'Mothership'.)
I was told 'Yes' then the bods who came to do the job said 'No' !!! [1st Supplier]
The other suppliers simply say 'Not in your area ..... yet !!!' (3 years later still the same !!!)
I cannot understand why the idea has been so badly implemented, different meters and standards that means swapping supplier requires a meter change, often from Smart back to 'Dumb' meter !!!
Is it too hard to define a standard Smart Meter that *ALL* the Suppliers can use ???
Yet another example of an idea half thought through then millions of pounds thrown at it to solve a problem badly and of course late as per usual for virtually every nationwide project.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
