In our previous house we had an old meter. An upgrade to smart was booked. Techs turned up but couldn't fit one as no mobile signal. It was a parchy area but a better signal upstairs. I asked about a signal boosting unit upstairs to boost to the meter. Techy had a blank expression. At the time EE would fit one but we weren't with EE. SWEB were our supplier.Only a business could normally have one due to radio signal regs. They fitted a newer meter instead.
At the hew house we are still on an old meter. No longer SWEB as I look at deals and swop if better. Currently ( no pun intended), we have the best tariff so no smart meter despite regular chasing by the supplier. A monthly online meter reading is easy. A smart meter doesn't give me cost saving but I keep checks on tariffs. I'll get one if it saves me money. I use common sense to decide if I use an appliance and don't need a display to tell me the result. If I spot a money saving tariff requiring a smart meter then it's time to get one.
