      Nods its down to the companies. But most have indicated 3g is getting shut down. And Ofcom expects 2g to go the same way.

      They(Ofcom) are currently seeking consultation. As to there plans to allow repeaters (signal booster) etc to be built without 2g and 3g support. Because they feel it is no longer needed.

        Why would you need to rewire the house to allow a smart meter to automatically update usage to the provider?

          Because the physical location is not suitable - a 60s house with the distribution units (and old Eco7 termination for night-storage heaters) are right next to the current meter.

          Oh, and it’s in the kitchen, underneath the bathroom… right underneath the bath!
