Smart meter rollout problems and delays...

Since zoomup doesn't seem to be around, I'll do the honours....


It appears that there are still some significant problems with the supplier-independent network that SMETS 2 meters need to communicate - especially in the "North" where it seems that some special radio system is being used rather than piggybacking on the mobile system. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-49680943


Then a day or two later the government announces a delay on the smart meter rollout programme: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-49721436


Does anyone know where the boundary between the "north" and "south" networks is?


Why is the UK so bad at implementing projects (starting with coming up with & approving a design that couldn't cope with people changing suppliers)?


Looks like I'm going to have to wait even longer for my immersion controller that cuts in automatically when electricity is cheaper than gas.
