Hi, I'm getting increasingly fed up with Bulb not using smart meters and taking an age to roll them out.
I already have smart meters, although i believe these are an older type and not usable by all/many/any.
I'm really fed up grovelling on my knees in the garden with a torch to get a reading from the gas meter.
I'm willing to switch to anyone else who can either use the smart meters I have, or will install new ones quickly.
Any ideas?

    If you already have smart meters, I very much dount you will get another one unless and until the OTA update to yours proves to be ineffective. Could be 2024 before the dust settles.

    Hmmm, I may just switch back to the previous supplier then...if I could only remember who that was!
