Impossible.
now who was in power in 2008 when the energy act for the roll out was implemented
Do they still show usage when they’ve been removed ?

yep as i thought you have not even got the most basic of knowledge to back up your comment . Bumping your gums for the sake of it
some did it was a known fault that was kept quiet people were complaining about increased bills some glitch in the software seemingly .
Not heard of it recently not to say not still some faulty ones out there
Cost per household - £30-£70.
Net gain per household £250.
They are just a meter. Little men don't live inside them and they don't spy on folk.
We have old fashioned meters that I read every month and upload the readings.
Takes me less than 5 minutes.
Cost = zero
You can do the same with a SM. Net cost - already factored in.

So you are saying that the total cost to install 2 SMs in our house is £30 -£70 -Rubbish
As for net gain - rubbish
But instead of "little men" there is, in smart meters, a relay that is designed to switch off the supply to the house; This relay can be controlled by a signal from a remote control room.
There are no such relays in dumb meters,
Ignoring the cost of the meters, because meters do need swapping from time to time, anyway. The installer took around 30 minutes to swap both of my meters, a particularly easy swap. An hour should cover most, so around £200 cost, per swap. Meters have a minimum 10 year life, so that's a cost of £20 per year.
Potential savings for some customers, is much, much more than £250 per year, due to the tariffs which open up with a SM. I've never bothered calculating my own savings, but £250 per annum, would be well within my saving range, and for doing nothing special at all, just consuming as normal.
What figures are you refering too?
So what? The vast majority of customers, will never, ever even be, or become aware of them.
We actually, did. The white meters had relays inside them, but generally no - there would be no point, the tech was not around back then, to do anything useful.
