That is a bit worrying for sure!
Touch wood mine has been OK!
Comment on Smart meter figures: Nearly four million not working properly

Mine is no longer sending out readings but I should count myself lucky it’s not worse. Occasionally it flashes up readings showing 5-6 times the actual usage but it disappears when I toggle through the options, which does make me nervous.

Are you talking about the meter (the box where the power comes into the house), or the wireless display?
The meter only counts units of electricity. It doesn’t tot-up the price of them. The display calculates a price, but it’s only meant to be a guide for you. The real price is all calculated by the supplier when they generate your bill. So if you’re seeing weird prices on the display, don’t worry. Only the kWh numbers matter.
