So much easier than debating with morons over the phone when they overcharge you and claim the "Computer never Lies"

They make their money by holding your overpayment by direct debit in a bank at very favourable interest rates, yet when they refund you the excess they dont refund you the interest they accumulated.

Well if you're confident that the meter provides correct readings!! in the first place.

Even the meter suppliers admit that their meters arent accurate.

There are lots of well reported stories indicating their bug-iness. Do you really want the hassle when and if it happens to you?

Re: No corruption here.

The whole point with "Smart" meters is that the ultimate goal is to charge you the "Spot" price of electricity and gas.

Whilst the energy companies hedge the prices of electricity and gas years inadvance, when enough people have them installed then they will charge you the "Spot" or current market price for those commodiities.

As was the case in the US where customers were seeing $9000 monthly gas bills as their bills followed the "Spot" price.

They can also swap you over to a higher tariff based pre-payment without having to get a court order to do so, which is the normal.

You are not legally compelled to have a smart meter and you can legally refuse to have one.
