    A smart meter should make the risk of dispute much lower, a company has a much harder time of raising estimated bills when the meter is automatically sending the real readings/consumption.
    Except when not working properly.

    That applies to dumb meters as well, they can also break.

    Hence making the risk lower, not entirely eliminating it.
