<strong>Smart</strong> Meter kills WIFI (Issaquah)<br />
Date: 2012-04-07, 10:34PM PDT<br />
A huge pulse repeat every 10 seconds interrupting WIFI, blue tooth and wireless internet. Stay with your<br />
original analog meter. I’m so pissed. My recording studio clients and friends won’t use my facility.<br />
Is there someone with an original analog meter that can legally switch me back? I don’t want their new analog<br />
alternative either. My trust in power conglomerates is irretrievably lost after this <strong>Smart</strong> Meter shit.<br />
This pulse is endlessly transmitted to every outlet and extension cord. It’s nasty. Don’t let them take your<br />
meter.<br />
________________________________<br />
I have a separate elect. meter for a water well. For the thirty years I have lived in my house the usage has been<br />
the same<br />
until after the “smart meter” was installed. There was no change in the usage, but my bill more than tripled.<br />
______________________________<br />
I was not asked permission prior to the <strong>Smart</strong>Meter device being installed in my home. I was never consulted<br />
about the program or notified in advance of installation. I am the only resident in my home and I live on a<br />
fixed income. My highest billing from Southern California Edison in the last four years has never been for more<br />
than 700 kwh. Edison installed the <strong>Smart</strong>Meter at my home about one month ago, and the billing I just<br />
received shows I have used 1,015 kwh. I have contacted SCE to complain, however they have told me it may be<br />
five days before they will address my complaint. Meanwhile, my bank account has already been charged for<br />
the bill.<br />
I have read numerous reports of SCE customers receiving high bills immediately following the installation of a<br />
<strong>Smart</strong>Meter. I cannot afford any more erroneous billings and would like the <strong>Smart</strong>Meter removed<br />
immediately.<br />
_______________________________<br />
Against my knowledge and will, Edison installed 5 smart meters 5ft from my living area that I spend lots of<br />
time in. I was not informed of this nor was I given information about the safety ratings and safe distance for<br />
human exposure in feet. I am moving immediately as a result and this will negatively affect my elderly<br />
landlords income. This is a huge breach of safety and privacy and likely a violation of federal wire tapping laws<br />
