As I said the new meters do not have the modem installed. I suppose they will not install the modem part until they have been rolled out. However you can refuse to have an external transmitting device on your property and go back to candles and oil lamps. I don't think they use your wifi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) How many "er's" and "erm's" can one man use? Does Baker actually know what he's trying to explain? I was electrified by his delivery.

The sooner the better the gas power station will be shut down for good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant remember the conversation totally but a electrician friend was taken on to start fitting them early this year but has been shelved for the time being as some issue with infrastructure equipment they need and they havent got .it.

Zarley Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I had a card shoved through my letterbox the other day wanting me to contact them to confirm my contact details. Couldn't get through on the number given that day, and forgot to try again the next day or since. (This thread popping up reminded me so thanks) According to the card, they're starting with homes that have a PAYG key meter first. They're calling it "smarterPAYG" It will be convenient for people like me who are online and somewhat tech-savvy but what about some of the older folks who aren't?

Non-Believer Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 By the time the new gas charges have kicked in, in addition to what's already being paid in electricity tariffs and taxes; I think most people will already be well aware of how to economise on their utilities usage.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
