Residents in rural North Yorkshire are facing significant challenges with their smart meters due to a government decision to use different networks for smart meters in the north and south of the country.
Southern smart meters operate on the 3G network, while those in the north rely on a longwave radio signal at 860 megahertz. This decision, according to Alastair Taylor, CEO of NYnet, failed to take into account the lack of consistent signal reception in some northern areas:
The company responsible for the longwave network has fulfilled its contractual obligations by meeting the required coverage percentage. This means they are unlikely to invest in further improvements, leaving residents in areas with poor signal without a reliable smart meter connection.
Taylor expressed hope that the government would address this issue:
