Smart Meter - no thanks!
Hello forumites. I am due to move into a new place, which was I believe was previously housing association. Looks as though it has pre-pay gas/elec meters (or at least some sort of "not very" smart meter). I have zero confidence in so called "smart" meters, which appear to have caused nothing but problems since day one.…

Smart meter goes dumb after two years
I had a smart meter installed in August 2023.

In March 2024 there was an 11 day outage when no…
