Fuse is still Paddington?
Mornin' all. Today we are switching from EDF to Fuse - and when I switched on the smart meter I found it displayed our supplier as "Paddington". A thorough search on the internet initially showed very little, especially on the Fuse info at Companies House. However I now find that Fuse acquired Paddington several years ago…

Octopus Tracker
I just wondered about people's experiences with this tariff and whether they feel they are winners or losers. I got a quote from them yesterday, and I have to say I find the numbers highly misleading. The figures are very attractive, beating even the good fixed rate tariff I got from Avro, but presumably based on an…

Unable to submit meter reading to British Gas
I've repeatedly tried to submit today's reading. At first I could not log in - "something went wrong" message keeps flashing up, not even for long enough to take a screenshot. Then log in but get the "something went wrong" message again. The home page says to send a meter reading by 15 April. However, I can't remember…

Octopus 4G Smart Meters
Had anyone had their smart meter hub upgraded recently to a 4G version? Got mine done today but noticed after the installer had left that both the HAN and Gas LEDs weren't flashing to indicate they are working and my IHD also wasn't connecting. Do I have to wait until Octopus does something their end or should the HAN be…

As we mainly use during the day I was sure to chose a tariff that had the same day/night rate and this was confirmed in the email confirming the tariff change. get my first statement post change and…

I was shocked to see that a meter…
