smart meter unusal question

[echat11]

I respect your opinion but am dubious. I get the "remembering to send readings" issue but other than that...I suppose it is what you prefer. I would rather keep control (everyone tells me I am a control freak..)

I was exactly the same and know that energy companies can't be trusted. If they can manipulate 'smart meters' to their advantage they will.

GIven everyone's disappointment in their so called smart meter (what's the point if it cannot remove domestic drudgery and predict the future?) I return to my original question, why is the OP fighting to get one? I feel like I am fighting to AVOID getting one!
Glad to hear about the mobile signal EXC. Mine is also awful so if they ever try to "force" it on us perhaps I will escape...

It's only thanks to text via wifi calling that I can receive texts which is essential to modern day life. You just can't log in to anything these days without being able to receive one-time pass codes. It's just one of the quirks of living in rural England. I don't get mains gas either but have 1gb FTTP broadband. There's zero road traffic but you have to dodge horse riders constantly. But it's a compromise I wouldn't change!

I would still like to know why the OP wants one????

I am selling the property and thought a smart meter would be bette than a dumb meter under the stairs.
