In our neighborhood everyone but us has replaced their meter readers with the new 5G digital ones.Near impossible to escape around here. We got a letter the other day saying we were the only ones in the neighborhood that hasn't replaced it and that a fee of $50 was going to be added to our bill to pay for them having to come out and read it from time to time. My husband is a computer programmer and network professional and he says it doesn't hurt but I think it is different from being at the country farm and here in town. 🤷‍♀️💝
