[QUOTE="shaunuk, post: 535630, member: 35697"] I’m all for smart meters, how can more data and more accurate readings that are automatic ever be a bad thing ? If people feel ripped off, they just need to consult the data from their smart meter. Energy suppliers are not ripping people off when they ask for more money, they are simply trying to stop the customer from building up a huge debt over the winter. People suggesting blocking the meter are living in a dream world, what good can that do. The meter records the units consumed. Those units are multiplied by the rate. The total is the bill. It’s stuff my 6 year old covered last year in first year. A much worse scenario would be relying on the customer to supply readings, then the suppliers going into an environment of 500% increase on supply prices or more and being forced to estimate a bill going into the hardest winter period we have faced in my living memory. More data is what we need. [/QUOTE]
