74 kilowatt hours is awfully low, around here they claim the average is 500 KwH... mine runs between 400 and 600.

I was annoyed when they changed my meter to the remote read type, in the middle of the month, without warning. I've got no way of knowing what the reading was on the meter they replaced, but I didn't have to kill anyone because the bill was in the ballpark.

What does this smart meter do for you, besides raise your bill? Does it give you any on-site information?
