Are you struggling with what you actually wrote you said people were thieves so you not only dont have a problem with pensioners dying you also want them tagged as thieves . You are one really nice person
Turn your electric off, make £££!!!

go on then explain what you think happens to terminate a supply in winter
It's the same due process and outcome no matter what meter is installed.
Really ! so you have just confirmed you do not know what is involved turning up at a job with a Bailiff, a warrant , a locksmith and the fitter
keep that shovel of yours for digging holes for shyte pipes oh and mind those services
Yes really.
Utilities thieves will be subject to the same due process and eventually cut off, no matter what meter is installed.
yo
cut off really ! as i said you dont know the process so good to see your still calling them thieves are you really a secret tory ?
If they have made it simpler to actually turn off the electric, then so be it. However the due process leading to that is exactly the same for either meter.
You are no more likely to gey cut off for stealing electricity with a smart meter than any other meter.
There you go with that comment of stealing again . You dont realise that these meters can be turned into prepayment meters at the press of a button remotely without the need to apply to magistrates courts for warrants and all the associated costs and visits from bailiffs etc . Thus making people pay before using the supply so no further debt is incurred so yes the ability to run up further theft as you call it is stopped purely by them having a smart meter

I did realise, and....?
Seems like a very good idea for those that struggle to pay, after they have used it. But you are digressing. What I said still stands boyo no matter how much waffle you fill the thread with.
We all do have to face up to pay for what we consume, why should some get away with it, and have those who do pay, make up the difference?
Nothing much has changed with the installation of SM's, apart from they have made the disconnection process easier and less expensive.
The one thing I disagree with, is those having to use pre-pay, being charged more than everyone else.
Another big advantage of SM's, is their ability to detect any attempt to bypass them - great. About time SM's became compulsary!
The cost of prepayments out strips the cost of standard meters all those terminals in shops have to be paid for also the meters are initially more expensive ,call outs to them for faults are far more frequent than to standard meters .
So is it a case of companies passing on the additional costs
no digressing at all and as per you just bump your gums for the sake of it
You may be shocked to learn that people do actually steal electricity (and gas)"...Electricity theft is the criminal practice of stealing electrical power. The practice of stealing electricity is nearly as old as electricity distribution..."
And you are telling me that the fight against these thieves, the same thieves that make my electricity more expensive, has become easier with smart meters?
Hoorah for SM.
no sh@t sherlock it was part of my job to attend jobs and deal with people stealing by, by- passing meters etc etc and deal with it appropriately but this is a hell of a lot different from people being in debt which you seem to think is ok to call the likes of pensioners trying not to die with hypothermia thievesYou may be shocked to learn that people do actually steal electricity (and gas)"...Electricity theft is the criminal practice of stealing electrical power.
