Panorama - The Smart Meter mess

[denso13]

Yes, no comms, a lot a first generation meters with known issues.

Actually, over 3.1m SMETS 1 meters still to be changed, surprisingly close to the 3.5m claimed as faulty.

That’s just your opinion.

We already agreed no one has the breakdown number wise.

This argument isn’t going anywhere, you’re being you, Harry is trying to take cheap shots “failing” Noseall is walking in circles, the other bloke makes no sense “John something or other”

The facts are 3.5 million SM’s aren’t don’t the job, one way or another.

 

[Notch7]

We definitely wouldn’t hear about no gas and electricity because that would stop the uptake.

the lizards are working overtime then eh

So you’re saying every single SMETS 1 is faulty ?

Is that a guess, or can you back it up ? He can’t, he won’t.

You’re looking desperate now. Please don’t have the thread closed.!!!

3.1m are SMETS 1, Go figure...

Lizards ?

There’s me thinking you don’t like SM’s

Comms is a known issue with them.

Oh dear me.

 

[Nwgs2]

Comms is a known issue with them.

But you’re still guessing! You have no proof.

It’s a bit sad Denny.

 

[denso13]

Most are, or they wouldn't be changing them

 

[Nwgs2]

Most are, or they wouldn't be changing them

In your opinion

 

[denso13]

In your opinion

No, there is a programme ongoing to upgrade SMETS 1 meters, You should know that.

 

[Nwgs2]

Why I don’t fit meters.

But for clarity- You’re stating of the 3.5m faulty 3.1m of those are faulty SMETS 1’s ?

And that’s a fact ?

 

[gas112]

That's the problem. I think you are overstating the issue, one reason being we'd hear a lot more about people with no gas/electricity.

You think it is a bigger problem than I do.

did you ever here about the first generation of card meters going down in winter due to battery faults in the cold forcing british gas to start an additional 7 day call out rota just to deal the amount breaking down coming guys working 8 till 6 sat and sundays and till 9 at night just fixing them throughout the country ........Nope bet you didnt just because something is not publicised doesnt mean its not happening

 

[Brigadier]

Might be that the SMETS1 are no so much faulty - they might be working fine - just that they're no longer up to the rest of the network?
