Bill Rising All Messages By This Member #1745 Hi all, A ways back, LG&E offered 'advanced' [1] electric meters. I declined, thinking that this was just part of the stampede to 'smart' technology. This week I got a snailmail letter saying that we all have to join the stampede, or pay $17/month extra ($12 on electric, $5 on gas). I went to the meter website to see what it said, and LG&E claims up and down that the network will be secure. Am I a fool, or does putting all the meters on a big network just make it easier for bad actors to make a mess of the utilities and cost them more than driving around reading the meters? I certainly don't feel a need to pull out my phone to see what my hourly electricity usage happens to be. Bill thinking we're moving to a level of complexity that makes everything frail [1] Uses the network! Will break sooner!

Harry Jacobson-Beyer All Messages By This Member #1747 I didn’t get an option to opt out. They just came and changed out the meters. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Jan 28, 2024, at 11:00?AM, Bill Rising via groups.io <brising@...> wrote: Hi all, A ways back, LG&E offered 'advanced' [1] electric meters.
