Smart Metering Trial

Posted on 10/04/2023 12:08 by Cornersteady

This applies to both this thread and the metering thread so I'll post it in both.

We have had, if memory serves, no one posting on here that has been actually affected by this current trial and the proposed metering trial, and their experiences. All we have is posters discussing the possible issues, and some saying they won't use it in any event,  but no one who is actually going to be affected posting?  

There must be someone booked in now for when the trial starts?

I also wonder why a mate with contacts with HMG would guide someone to the money supermarket website and a cut and paste? Does HMG use this site for advice?

On page 6 we have DK saying he might test out the system on one of the sites for a couple of nights. Some of us have had metered stays on other sites. I can't see anything wrong with contributions which raise points about the trials. Some reactions might be useful as feedback to CAMC.

Ah, you can’t beat a bit of speculation, Corners 🙄

It was just the same when the deposit scheme was announced.

Points about the trials is one thing, Brue, but you must have noticed how both threads are speculating when a wait and see approach would likely resolve the questions. Furthermore, both threads have taken on the appearance of being an excuse for having a go at camc. It’s rather repetitive I find.

Indeed it is fun and part of CT life TW, nothing wrong with it (did I say that?) and certainly do it myself, but my point is that some real life experiences of the current trial and the one starting soon would be interesting and good to see on CT. As I said I can't recall any? 

No one has posted about the ANPR trial at all yet someone must have been there? and there must be people booked in and did book in before the metering trial was announced but yet again no one has posted how it will affect them? Have they been contacted? Are they going to cancel? Are they bothered?

'We' can and do speculate and discuss all we like but it doesn't sound as if the vast majority of us posting are going to be affected and it would be good if someone who is/will be posted?
