Once upon a time they used to read my gas meter every couple of months, and they would send me a bill after they did so. Now they seem to read the actual meter on random irregular intervals, but the bill is on a set monthly cycle that involves them estimating the reading, then doing lots of inpenetrable mathematics to make things match up to the ocassional actual meter readings.

I think it's ridiculous I can't just take a pic and send it.

[-] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 points 1 week ago

I can do that, maybe it depends on which retailer you are with.

you with globird? I definitely know you can with that. Have a look at your bill, if it's E then I think legally you have to be able to challenge with a pic of the meter.

yeah mine still thinks we have gas ducted. I normally just pay and not care, but they took the piss a bit this winter, so I just kept taking photos of the meter and sending back to recalculate. Turned a $400 gas bill into a $120 credit lol
