Gets man in to look at seals etc after the computer at your suppliers has
sounded an alarm bell about readings being consistently below what they
estimate you should have used...

That's a possibility that I hadn't considered, but a valid thought, as they
always did manage to way over-estimate what we were actually using. Although
interestingly, they way *under* -estimated what we were *going* to be using
when they set the original tariff. After we complained that we were paying
too much, they re-negotiated the rate, and knocked it down by a third ...

If they come to fit one here it will be interesting if they rely on 2G.
The meters are inside a windowless boiler room with thick stone walls on
the "wrong" side of the house. There is no mobile signal in there...

If they want to piggy back the broadband they can pay a rental to do so.
I think 5% off the total bill (inc VAT) might be enough but there is no
guarantee what so ever that the connection will be there.
