We've got to rearrange our electricity suplier in a month's time The quote we have from our supplier is about 90% higher than what we're paying now!
Isupply, (our 'provider' - ha') although a chosen change a couple of years ago have been abysmal in their trading. They kept mucking up the online readings and making excuses, but lo and behold, reduced our monthly payment to £107.00 a few months ago!
So now, they're doubling that, and I take it as a cynical ploy to wrench more cash for exactly the same 'service' we have already! Time to switch methinks, and we're on the case!
I won't want a smart meter, as I make just four calls from my mobile each year - why? Emergency only - cheaper that way!
Like said above, if the gummint want it, it's certainly a con.
