I posted on a previous thread that my electricity company refused to continue with my "off peak" tariff unless I got a smart meter, then found they couldn't get a signal for it, so fitted a new ordinary meter instead. not sure if it was the same R4 program, but I did hear one that said 20% of households are in areas not covered by the phone signals needed for transmitting the data. All that expense and advertising for something that can never be a national system.
One of my neighbours was pushed into having one, he said it wont work here. Insisted ge had it fitted and guess what it doesnt work....no signal.
