Smart meter = scam.
Smart meter: some days starts with a big balance + a bath is cheaper than a shower?

Where is the 'scam'.
Poorly thought through, rushed, badly implemented, badly designed, misleading advertising - but a scam, no.
They come with little men inside, that listen to your conversations.
Then make, and wear a cooking foil hat.

After putting it off for so long, I've finally secumbed to having a smart meter fitted. The fluctuating fuel prices makes sense to take advantage of any 'off peak' offers that may come our way in the future, which can only be managed with a smart meter.
Metering electric, gas or water is not a scam.
So did mine, but some got gassed and some got electrocuted.
= complete and utter waste of around 15 billion quid that us as consumers end up paying on our bills
what about the future increases in peak time use which can only be managed with a smart meter ?
If I paid the money that my IHD claims I'm paying, be a much poorer person than I am!
The smart meter here saves us a lot of money in time shifting loads, whilst saving carbon and stress in the grid system.
What about future increases?
Smart meters are a major issue for some people...
- If you don't pay your bill then it can be remotely switched to being a credit meter.
- If you hot-wire past the meter to get free stolen electricity then it will detect it and report you.
So there are some valid reasons to want to avoid getting one, but they're often hiding behind other pretend reasons.

I see nothing wrong with a meter doing that, perhaps you think hot-wiring to bypass a meter is legitimate, if you cannot afford the bill?
