Ticking time bomb, they are sold smart meters as they are said to be better, easier and more reliable and accurate.

False marketing etc

@JackTheCat

The recent revelations regarding the fact they get things wrong is great for those who do not want one.

@simontsui

Perhaps the US / UK goverment should be more concerened with this and other similar groups than Julian Assange,

Unless the idea is to make an example out of Julian Assange, something the UK won't let happen as the extradition criteria includes NOT applying the death penalty.

You would be better to use the BT account to set up a @disroot account, and use that for e-mail.
