Hi Frank and CUB team- I have just read all 14 questions and none of them, or yours Frank, have been answered. I have to say, that the Smart Meter issue is a hot one and is seeming to be glossed over at CUB. We appreciate that you are trying to hold AT+T's feet to the fire when it comes to not allowing them to banish the landline phones, but what about the analog meters that the gas and electric companies want to take out and replace with Smart Meters that have been linked to fires (not mandatorily UL approved, made in China and have bad contacts that can spark, not to mention being an electronic device they need surge protectors and DO NOT come with it) but maybe more up your alley, CUB, is that they are extorting people to pay fees if they refuse it, OR turn off their gas or power, AND they are getting filthy rich off of these shoddy, insecure products. (security is another topic that got them banned in France). Please help CUB!
That's correct persona b I have to pay 25$ amonth extra to keep analog meter. They are supposed to read it in person monthly but they dont
Frank, I work for peoples gas and yes that is true. It's a safety reason. I'm sure you dont want a leaking meter. We come out every 3 years or so to inspect a meter to make sure it's not leaking and in good working condition. We will send notices that an inspection is due, and cant gain access after numerous attempts, service may be disconnected.
