  • Great. So all the people who refused to have one , for various tin foil hat reasons, will now benefit to the tune of a hundred pounds. Whereas the people who already have one get nothing. 
    I've had my smart meter less than 6 months and I've already saved far more than £100 by being able to access TOU tariffs.

    Apart from the opportunity to have saved considerable amounts of money for several years on the right tariff!

    Not sure the committed tinfoil hatters will be swayed by a few quid...

    Might switch back, take the £200 As they could not read tmy Smart meter for electric, that having switched to octopus & they read it straight away.
    Then switch back to Octopus once fitted.
    Better return than switching bank account, as I could use referral link to get extra £50 🤣

    I had this offer in the spring and took advantage. If it's the same it will be specific to customers who get the email, not open to all.

    Nice 25% cheaper winter unit rate reduction for Eon Next smart meter customers  who qualify.

    They don't get fined for none working SM so they likely don't care. And wouldn't pay up for a replacement anyway.

    Funny how nothing changed & Octopus can read it.

    I haven't decided whether to take up the offer. 
    Why wouldn't you?
    Admittedly the bribe is tempting but some of us are just against smart meters.
