My brother is with Eon and they have emailed him saying
"we just wanted to let you know your electricity meter has reached the end of its life. When this happens there’s a legal obligation to check and exchange your meter with a new one."
They then go on to imply, without actually saying so, that the replacement has to be a smart meter. Seems odd to me. His current meter is electronic, with date, time etc as well as the readings so sceptical that it's at the end of its life. I have a much older meter with cyclometer type figures, and nobody has said mine needs replacing. Like me, he doesn't want a smart meter, having heard enough bad stories about them.
Anybody comment?
