  7. i got notification last month of a price change electricity is going up about 2 pence but gas is coming down 2 pence but the daily standing charge is going up about 3 pence on each as for smart meters they only benefit the supplier if you continue as before it costs you more as the meters are powered by electricity which you are paying for and the WIFI power and they are not secure they could get hacked and shut down your supply or even programed to pay for someone fuel god knows what some of these hacker can do
