- Not fail-proof - Some smart meter customers in the UK have also reported issues with faulty meters contributing to an increase in their bills.
Electronics are great when they work but are subject to software glitches and errors caused by electrical fields or radio interference.
How reliable will a ten or twenty year old smart meter be?
I would have more confidence in a twenty year old spinning disc meter than an electronic meter of similar age.
What is the plan to update and replace these smart meters in the future.
Will it be every five, ten, twenty years.......
