You know it's coming.Â* Before we had a water meter, our monthly
bill was £60.Â* As soon as one was fitted, it dropped to £40.Â* Hard
not to believe that we were simply being penalised.

My water bill reduced when I had a meter fitted, but that was
because the previous bill was based on the rateable value.Â* Smart
meters will make it very easy for suppliers to raise the price when
I want to cook the dinner in the evening.


Well, I'm going to wait as long as I can get away with it.Â* My mum
and dad had a smart meter fitted last year, and were without power
for a day, because 'something got broke'.Â* And they /still/ have to
read it themselves, because they changed supplier.Â* Plus, I would
have to take a day off work.

The end result of smart meters is to make more money.

Save on the cost of reading the meter, actually.
And to make a time of use tariff possible to OFFER.
And the end result will be more money
