    It will not be free, it is just electricity you have not paid for yet...

    @Bill2000 In  a few years time when the meter reader comes around you are going to get a very big bill.
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill

    That's nice Bill2000.

    But when you actually get the "Bill".

    Please come back with some headline post about Rip Off or Scam "as new posters do" that you now have to pay for all this free Electricity.

    But in the meantime if you want detailed answers, then perhaps detailed information from you would help?

    It doesn't matter - if its SMART you will get your monthly bills; if not you need to read your meter to get the bills (don't rely on a meter reader coming around)

    Isn't it only the big supliers who read meters?

    I went from spark to octopus (they put the meter in) back to spark again they blocked octopus. So has the meter gone dumb?
