I'm maybe just going to get some Reynolds wrap around the existing meter,
if they cut it send a 32k dollar invoice for cutting it?

I would go attempt to hang it back on the meter.  Perhaps make a new wire for 
it if it is the wire snap in type.

I bought this house something like 6 years ago, since the day I moved in the 
tamper tag has been laying on top of the meter. I don't think my meter has ever 
been read. Ill probably get in trouble when they show up for the tamper tag 
being broken. If I let them do it, I think I'm going to fill the box with 
rancid hit from the chicken

  But wait, there's more! Even if you DO want it, you still pay an extra $3/mo 
for this awesome new service that trashes the spectrum. Also for that $3/mo, 
you get to be told that you're not green enough, you bad human.

  Yet Exelon and ComEd don't have "enough" money to improve the grid or their

I've never heard of anyone being prosecuted. Then again, most of the 
smart meters out here don't work because they are too far apart from 
each other to create a mesh.

Good luck getting the customer to refuse since ComEd will charge $10/mo 
for manual meter reading, even though they've been doing estimated 
readings for, I don't know, 2-3 years now.

We have had a Mexican stand off of sorts with PG&E (Pacific Gas & 
Electric) for at least 4 years. When they send a tech out to install it, 
I ask if they have figured out how to lock out specific frequencies to 
avoid interference. The tech replies he doesn't know, and I request that 
they have someone get back to me with their plan. To date, they have 
never followed up.
