Next Drive. Not eligible for a smart meter.

    Update if anyone's interested.
    • I spoke to customer service asking to move to the EV tariff. She said that my property isn't eligible for a smart meter, but that's not my fault, so they'll put me on the tariff anyway. I don't think that will work, but the 'drive' team are going to call me.
    • I then told her that the neighbour has a smart meter, so she's going to talk to the 'smart' team and get them to reassess the situation.
    • Finally, I said I was concerned that the > 25-year-old meter might be inaccurate, and she said they would replace it even if I can't have a smart meter.

    Watch this space for further updates, and once again, thank you to everyone who's taken the time to reply to me.
    Eon customer, electricity only.

    Afternoon @Symon Thank you for the update.
    It sounds positive. 🤞
    I think we'd all like to know why your property is not eligible considering your neighbour's is 🤔.
    Glad to hear that your old meter is being considered for replacement.
    Have a good weekend.
