Manx telecom have been trying to get google (who are the only people who can fix it) to rectify this issue for over a decade. They don’t care. We are a poxy little island of no consequence to them. Isn't the whole issue the fact that our internet traffic is routed through some shit hole deemed "unfriendly" by the yanks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-lane Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 An organisation that is slower than the DoI. All we need now is for some Internet savant to point out that the Grand Duchy of Fenwick has had an agreement with Google for ten years.

Dirty Buggane Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Its sweet you think MUA even had the diligence to go direct to a manufacturer, more likely stuck where can I buy dirt cheap 3rd generation consumer meters with connectivity. Seeing as they are probley on 5 gen meters by now some shister seen an opportunity to off load a shitload off obsolete hard ware at a mark up that would make the turd tax seem like good value. And no I can download anything I so wish the question still is why should I. Was across visiting relatives and there sitting of to one side was a nifty little unit telling how much you have used and the cost, a load of pointless shite but came free with the meter, not the expensive add on if you so wish from the MUA. Also showed the gas (god forbid you may have a seizure) if you so wished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again it's not for the consumers benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Buggane Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) Nor have thought of not buying obsolete equipment, which most of it now is. How is this possible I hear you cry, well when they purchased it they had no idea it was going to be 5 years or more from purchase to actual fitting, Not to mention they were sold shite in the first place, Not unlike the MUA Edited February 12, 2023 by Dirty Buggane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the MUA smart meters came with an app that let you see all that stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an article over the weekend about someone who was addicted to checking her smart meter app. I used it quite a bit at first to find where / what was consuming the electricity, it did help. Today Blue Flame Heat are here installing solar panels. Edited February 13, 2023 by GD4ELI Splelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
