Re: Oh No interference!! said by FLECOM:the only reason many power companies are looking at it is for meter reading, not internet access... i love this place  That and total control. A real example and I thank GOD I've been lucky as of yet to deal with that comming nightmare.
Remote meter reading,while it's a new technique in some areas.Has been the modius operarandi a few years in my area.Now the only bad part of this equation is when/if the remote readers have a failure on either end.I inquired about that possibilty.The response to that is as follows:
The customer will be charged full kilowatt rate.The price I don't know as it's different from company to company,State to state..Here's the kicker.I asked why full rate and what is full rate?.? Since we can't determine exactly when it failed.We must charge full kilowatt usage.They couldn't?wouldn't? give me the price for full month kilowatt usage rate.Surely they determined a max x amount of usage.There must be an x amout of $$.Then what is cost of max x? Still unknown due to "to many varibiales"
Until we can determine your monthly kilowatt hours for an average.Then any money over charged will be applied in credit to the monthly bill.Doesn't sound very customer friendly to me.
Imagine, That may take a year? maybe two? to get cash paid. Back as an credit applied as a monthly adjustment.In another word the customer can take a screwin' on this.I'd prefer seeing the meter man/woman. |
