The way smart energy meters work in northern England and Scotland is causing issues for customers, BBC Panorama has been told.
In the Midlands, Wales and southern England, all meters use cellular technology – similar to mobile phones – to send data to energy providers.
But in northern England and Scotland, meters instead rely on longer-range radio frequencies.

I find this latest revelation in the smart meter saga quite unbelievable.
If you take this to its logical extent then southerners have 4g/5g at their disposal but everywhere else in the country is denied use of such technology and has to rely on HAM radio instead which clearly isn’t the case.
Even us ‘lucky’ southerners have to put up with endless periods where our ‘smart’ meters don’t report back to base and all that energy providers can do is to report this to a shady company called DCC which doesn’t deal directly with customers. When you look into the companies behind DCC, and the whole smart meter project, it’s the usual suspects. I’m sure the project has made them a tidy profit but the reality is the delivered product is a mess.
And this has what? to do with motability vehicles ?
Many of us with electric cars use smart meters to monitor our usage.

As with most forums, there is an “off topic” area where you can discuss anything that maybe helpful or just chat about the weather…
