Last september I had an attempt at a smart meter fitting when I was with igloo before they went bang.
I got an email that Magnum utilities the fitter was not able to be completed :
Currently, our Utility Service Provider, Magnum Utilities, are not able to proceed with meter exchanges where a Metal Fuse Carriers (Cut-Out) is present.
Will this be any different with EON? - I have registered interest for smart meter
It looks like you somehow managed to post this thread as a guest user, so I can't mention you. If you ever do manage to see my response to this thread, please could you post photos of your existing meters and I'll try to figure out what's what.
Thanks!
Just another guy passing by... The unknown tech way...

This document lays out the responsibilities. According to page 10, the cut out is the responsibility of the DNO. I can't see where this acronym is defined but I think it stands for distribution network operator. - but in the UK it seems its UK power network in all cases. This is who is responsible for the network in your area and its not your energy supplier.
Reasons for changing the fuse cut out are many but relate to age, condition, location and fire risk.
The last link mentions that there might be a charge - but if this is their equipment and it needs replacing then I would have thought that no charge should be levied if the swap is straightforward and doesn't involve moving anything more than a few centimetres.
