<One upsmanship> I got a quarterly bill for over £3000 after a meter change. Even British Gas finally admitted this was somewhat unlikely for a 2 bed semi. </one upsmanship>
My current energy provider is blicked from calling me after pestering me so persistently about smart meters. It's not even fun telling them to do one any more. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

It's not in your interest!
Once the supplier has sussed out when your maximum demand is, guess what, the price will rise for that exact time period! |
This. And it's the reason i will not have one of these fucking things anywhere near our gaff.
Can't see the point of one, if the house is cold and you need to turn the heating on, what's the fucking point of a smart meter - you know you're burning fuel.
And if your electricity bill is high, either turn some shit off, buy more efficient shit or accept you have a stinker of a bill because you use too much electricity.
Smart meter my arse, it's exactly what Sid says, a sneaky way of making sure they know exactly how to rob you blind more efficiently.
If you really do want to see what eats the most - you can work out using basic maths.

Because if it goes right you gain nothing, and if it goes wrong, you're in a world of hassle.
Because it costs £400+ to install, and you'll end up paying for that, one way or another. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Another EU fiddle to extract money from the UK tax payer to give to Germany and make French energy companies more profitable, all in the lie of green credentials.
Tax payers money is given to German company, Siemens, to pay for and install the meters, meaning the mainly French owned energy companies no longer have to read meters, so make more profit.
What's in this for the UK tax payer again?

We had a meter changed before we bought our house, was 130 year old bungalow, cost a fortune to heat, anyway after some time of paying the bill as normal to the tune of about £400/month, we complained that the price was too high so must be something wrong with meter, they investigated, then we noticed we had around £7.5k extra in bank one morning, from British Gas, turns out our meter was never registered when installed, as they had no record of it, they legally couldn't charge us, so they gave us all the money back, we didn't even have to ask. |

I find it hilarious how much some people love their tin foil hat conspiracy theories.
Smart meters aren't for your benefit, they're for the supply of things. Nobody cares about your energy usage and what time of day you use the most power because you don't matter. You and your domestic power usage are nothing, you don't even register on the scale so there's no reason for anyone to care about what you're doing.
Get over yourself. |
