Our smart meter was fitted for free. It was interesting for 5 minutes, but I just ignore it now.
About to change supplier too, so it won't work anymore. Do I care? Nope.
Not free actually - it's paid for from our and your bill. Thanks for that!About to change supplier too, so it won't work anymore. Do I care? Nope.

Equally there seems to be a fair section of the population who believe things are free
The only supplier that would take us onto a normal payment plan and remove the key meter without charge (albeit it after a few months) was E-on. This was may 2015 after we bought a place with pre-paid meters - meters fitted by previous tenants and nothing to do with us. If ever there was a system that needed a watchdog overhaul it is pre-paid meters. The whole system is one big rort for suppliers.

Yeah I left Scottish Power because they were raising their prices. They blamed it on Smart Meters!!
I'd really love to have proof of that - in fact I'm with SP I may well ring em up and try to get the same response on tape http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-bus...
I remember the letter we got from them well. Here have a 'free' smart meter.... we just won't say anything about increasing our prices soon to cover the cost!
Well stuff you then, I'm off

I know someone that joined British Gas and was trained purely to do smart meters. Seemed to me like a very niche employment and somewhat of a dead end in skill set.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-bus...
