I guess if you go for faster data, then you can monitor it via a smart
phone. For some reason they will not let you get the meter onto your network
and hence be easy to get at on computers and phones. Is this perhaps a
security issue, or more to do with trying to keep the calculation of the
money as a black art?

Would you really want your electricity supplier to have access to your
home network? Are you (or anyone else) sure you would be able to stop
them from seeing the contents of your hard drives?
