Btw~✓ .¿’. Frankenstein say, “Smart meter very dumb!”
~~update 1-8-2024

Asplund kept tree lines under side clear and clean since way back in the previous century until a decade ago when new little nerdy nickel counters came of age and climbed corpnasty ladders.
Well, the trees grew & finally broke the bottom leg of our backyard “right of way” eminent domain for utility companies(baby grandchild of Railroad Robber Barrons) 3 wire (120volt- neutral – 120volt) system.
Sammy Smart Meter had no idea, I had to call it in after the latest storm.
Hours on the phone ☎( seemed like anyway dealing with computer menus, I especially like the ones who finally say “good-by” & hang up on you! ! aahhh!
Eventually, I got a call center in Guatemala( yes, I ask where he was, always do) and reported the outage.

By year three I noticed that every electric bill stated that I used more electric this month than I had used this month last year. I found it odd as I am very routine in my activities, but didn’t pay much attention as was only a few cents difference and I was busy with other things.

However, in 2011, year 5, I did not have a garden period. Ergo, no canning from June to September and yet according to the power company, I used more electricity this month than I had used this month last year. How Absurd!! By 2013 I decided that I needed to keep track of my electric consumption for myself. Ran into problems immediately as LCD display didn’t always display and I wasn’t able to always read meter when needed to. I did determine that what the usage on the meter said is what the power company bill said also.

Anyhooo, gave up that project until I received the December bill for 2014. I popped me cork when I got a bill for$120 when my bill normally ran $70. By this time I had learned that I could get a hourly, daily readout of my electric usage so I went and got one for December 2014. Come to find out the electric company said that I had used double and triple my daily usage from December 21 thru’ the 26. OK, OK think Christmas lights, Christmas parties, Christmas baking, Christmas dinner, Christmas late nights wrapping presents and listening to music watching Christmas tree light blinking. Sounds about right don’t it? There’s only on problem with this……

I DON’T CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM!!!

I took the readout down to the power company and asked for an explanation as to why my electric usage was so much greater over a holiday that I didn’t celebrate. The response was “if the power company says you used it, then you used it”. Oh WOW that really explained things, it also Burned My Beans!!

I went home and developed a spreadsheet hourly, daily log that corresponded exactly to their hourly daily log. I and my husband at the time wrote the time down in the correct hour block every time we turned something on or off even if it was just a few minutes. Eventually, I even wrote the temperature of the stove eyes and oven, whether I used a hot or cold clothes wash, etc… I also started pulling a 60 day daily log from the power company every month when I paid the bill.

It amazes me how little correlation there is between their log and my log! There are also totally wrong usages such as in January 2018 had a really cold snap for two weeks. Of course, my usage doubled and tripled again despite the fact that I still had only wood heat. Another interesting event that would happen is that in the wee hours of the morning while I was in my bed sleeping and all daytime/nighttime lights and appliances turned off, Golly Gee Whiz anytime between 0100 and 0400, random hours and random days I would use, according to the power company, up to 2KW in that one wee morning hour.

Another thing of interest to me was that as SOON as I started pulling their daily logs, I no longer was using more electricity this month than I did this month last year. Astonishing!! If fact my electricity usage actually decreased a tiny bit!! The power company man congratulated me on my electric conservation efforts. Imagine that! I did not change one iota of usage in my lifestyle.

This is my speculation. If the company can read your meter from the central office (co), can check the line for trouble from the co, can turn your meter on or off from the co, then there has to be software in that smart meter. AAAAAAND, if there is software/programing in that smart meter than programing can be written to advance, retard or incrementally change the amount of usage on that meter.

This would be fraud and I have six years of hourly, daily data to prove this and can’t find a lawyer or even a government official who is interested in pursuing this fraud. My power company is a corporation in Virginia that operates in Virginia and Tennessee. I dwell in Tennessee.

If there is anyone who knows of a competent lawyer who even might be interested in this type of case, they can respond to:

Thanks much

Does anyone know how the electric company plays with the meter to show this increased utilization? Lately we’ve noticed that it takes much longer to boil water or bake a cake in the oven.

Central maine power came out to switch from analog meter to smart meter on house I’ve been in for 8 years! My bill avaeraged about $250 month sometimes as much as $350! The first bill I got was for $1800 partial month with smart meter then the following month it s I think $2,900!!!! I complained to maine public utilities commission about the issue but nothing ever came of it and my bill when I moved out several months later was over $10,000 told CMP to GFYS and no way their meter was correct! They said they looked into it and there was a problem with meter! They said it was with the old meter! If I was running that much electricity through a 80 amp service place would burn to ground so how am I useing $3000 month I’m electricity in a 1200 sqft home! No electric heat no electric hot water heater all propane amd the light bulbs everyone in world uses are less than 15 watts!!!! Notice our electricity usage is maybe 20 percent of why it used to be when we were all useing 75 and 100 watt light bulbs and high drain appliances some peoples bill have gone up 50 percent 100 percent some cases 300 percent ! The utility company’s know dam well these meters are wrong and the old analog meters were more accurate and could t be manipulated in any way! Power companies can program. These thing they can erase and enter different numbers in to hide their crimes!
So now I can’t get power in my name and it’s destroyed my credit but I’m not paying the crook utility company all that money! One months bill is more then what I was paying all year!
