I have just finished reading an article describing the dangers as well as the forcible installation of these Smart Meters. Electrical utilities can actually force you to have one installed on your home, regardless of how much you oppose such installation, even on health issues.
Here is the link and title of the article so you can read it in its entirety
'SMART METERS' - THE NEW SILENT KILLER
PART 1 of 2
Windsor, UK has smart meters. No one tried to shut off the appliances of my gf's house nor did electricity or gas bills skyrocket. You actually prepay for the amount of utilities you want to use in England, sort of like topping up a pre-paid cell phone.
Smart meters will, in theory, be able to shut down or regulate your home appliances, as "smart appliances" and the "smart grid" develop.
Winter of 2011 we had a heavy freeze causing the state utility to implement rolling blackouts, 15 minutes, each hour.
Waking up to my PC rebooting after power came back on then realizing what was going on at the next blackout, I called the electric company, pressing ONE for RESIDENTIAL. My electricity was back on within 2 minutes and remained on for the rest of the day.
The utility was able to restore my service immediately due to my smart meter.

Which means they were blacking you out without your consent until you called them
As I understand it, the smart meters actually measure electricity going to your home instead of electricity that is used in your home... this way the electric companies make even more money.... hehehehe

My electric bill is 3xs higher since the smart meter was installed last feb.
Looks like you owe on a lot of back service.
It happened to me a few years back. They said my mechanical meter hadn't be working properly, so I owed them $1600 for the previous two years.
They threatened to cut off all power if I didn't pay IMMEDIATELY!
