To be fair I thought all disconnections were already done 'remotely, i.e. at a distance, without visiting your home' by having you cut off at the tap. It'd be pretty pointless disconnecting someone inside their own home when they could just go plug it back in again... ---------- Post added at 21:19 ---------- Previous post was at 21:19 ----------

Really? How come our prepayment meter was actually 40% cheaper than the post-pay tariff we were on, before being forced to change due to 'non-payment' owing to their own cock-ups?
