No DtG, thats not entirely right, to transmit data to the supplier it uses GSM which is a 2G cellular network. Probably not the same as your mobile phone uses. But here is the clever thing, if it can't find a GSM network, the information can hop from meter to meter until it finds one. I am not sure whether the meter to meter hopping uses cellular technology, or the power lines themselves. The broadband comes in when you what to read the data yourself, then you need to connect with the Data Communications Company, or possibly your own supplier. Not sure whether you have direct access to the DCC, probably not. The whole thing seems to be run by Capita PLC. What could possibly go wrong?
