and no problems with mine either, apart from I keep swapping suppliers
and the meters just don't work for the remote reading for new suppliers.

Usually they have managed to swap them to compatible ones, after many
months of waiting, often just in time for me to move to a new supplier,
when they stop working again.

I have been with my present supplier with none compatible Smart Meters
now for 15 months, they are remarkably slow off the mark to fit new
meters, or perhaps they have heard I tend to move suppliers, soon after
they fit new meters?
this swapping is just a waste of time in my opinion with problems like
that ...your just giving crappy jobs to salesmen ...I have stuck with
British Gas for gas and lecy for decades and avoided all the
hassle.....and I hate the chuggerers that accost you in the street and
ask who you have your gas and lecy with....I just tell them it is none
of their effin business.....
