Utility point customer please

Hi All,

As per the title I need a second opinion from a  Utility point customer that I am with.

For the last three years they have dragged their feet wearing out countless pairs of shoes delaying type 2 smart meters, is my understanding consistant with the experience of others?
Where I live is Stratford-CV37, hardly a hamlet or back water, that is called Shitson on Stour.

As I understand it smart meters use mobile phone technology to send readings. I here and now get faster 4G broadband than ADSL.
Yes I've tried to find other energy companies to replace utility point, even knowing Stratford-cv37 is where I live they won't comit, they want me to sign up to them first,sorry!!!! do I miss some thing, I don't have to switch neither will I be left in the dark if I don't. Fitting the meter is not going to put anyone at risk, this isn't Chernobyl or Fukushima
