Geting away from smart meters for awhile I've just been
reading about the accuracy of meters. Of the people who
complain about the size of their bill 24% of the meters
tested were found to be inaccurate.

How inaccurate?

These are UK Gov
figures for 2016. There are approx 56 million meters in
the UK so could add up to a huge overcharge if the
readings are high, but they don't say whether the meters
were up or down

Its unlikely most of them were reading too low, because those
who had those are unlikely to have complained about their meter.

How would they know?

How would who know what ?

If the user complained that his bill was too high and they come to check
the meter, how would he know in advance whether it was high or low
reading?

He would be very unlikely to complain and demand
a meter check if the bill was lower than expected.

Does anyone think their bill is "lower than expected"?

Irrelevant to whether those that get a bill like that are
unlikely to be demanding that their meter be checked.

? What would be the basis of his expectations?

Previous bills obviously.
