"At least EON send an email asking you to read your meter - and send someone to read it once a year."
Not my experience. Never knowingly received an email from them. Once a year, someone posts a note through the door to say we were out and they've estimated the reading of the meter that is in a wooden box outside the property and could be read by anyone with one of those triangular keys. Recently they sent us a note to say they believed our meter was faulty and needed to be replaced. When the guy turned up, his version of the story was that there was nothing wrong with the meter but they replace them every decade or two on principle. Not obvious why EON needed to make up the story about a fault.
The new meter isn't a smart one. Presumably they'll rip it out in the near future because they need to install a smart one.
