Smart Meter yes or no?

[gaz1]

one thing i am surprised at that people havent got together who dont want a smart meter but want the tariffs

that some company to take ofgem to court over the forced installation of smart metter by bribery

if it can happen with token meters it can happen with smart meter

Ofgem warns suppliers over forcible prepayment meter installations

Suppliers must only install prepayment meters by force to recover debt as a last resort, as research shows some suppliers are using such tactics too often.

we have no debt with them but they are focing us to have them installed in our houses not for our benefit

Energy firms hit those refusing to have smart meters with higher bills

Readers have surged forward to cry foul after we reported that energy suppliers were saving their best deals for those willing to have the gadgets installed

the only way i see it is to take ofgem to court

as the smart meter is not a compulsary fitting but companies are forcing the fitting of them

Just took a look at my meter reading as I'm planning on switching supplier for a couple of quid saving a year.

With a Smart meter I would have missed this little moment of joy

I too had a little ‘moment’ when I was out on my bike a few weeks ago.

Smart meters were the subject [in broad terms] of a thread back in 2019 which might cover many aspects of these devices being raised/commented on here

You have to be careful of that, I had a car that was coming up to 100,000 miles and I glanced down at the clock then looked up and traffic had stopped. Luckily the brakes were good.
