    I can't believe MSE news letter "supporting" this tariff. The tarrif is conditional on having a smart meter fitted. I consider this to be little short of blackmail and was the reason for me leaving Fist utility recently which only offered their lowest tariff subject to the same condition. Smart meter roll out is the biggest waste of public money ever , costing £11 billion to produce household savings of £11 per year. I don't know which meters British gas will fit but if they are the "1st generation " meters they will probably not work when you " inevitably " switch from British gas [if you remember] when their tariffs rocket at the end of your 1 year fix.

    did you kick up such a stink when you had your existing meter fitted? oh you didn't, so why the tin foil hat about a smart meter?
