I’m really glad that sanctimonious know it alls like you proceed to tell me how to live my life.
As an American, I can and should be free to make my own determination on how to live my life and what choices I make. Not you.
If you’d bother to ask, I would have told you that my utility also installed a new legacy meter, which although not connected to the smart meter system is accurate.
But, you seem to know more than me.
If you don’t like it, don’t sign the contract.
