Delayed, over-budget smart meters will be helpful – when Blighty enters 'Star Trek phase'

"The bill can go even higher and no one will ever look at the value to the consumer who had no say in this political debacle."

The water company mandated a change to meters instead of an annual charge effectively based on house size. My bills dropped by quite a bit as I rattle round a large family-sized house. The shocking bit was that the standing charge is five times my metered water consumption.

When customers cut their consumption of the standard utilities - expect the standing charges to rise to make up the difference.
