It's called the National Grid ESO scheme and you sign up through your supplier when it's open. However, some suppliers take a cut of the ESO payment. Alternatively, you can sign up to Uswitch Utrack ( https://www.uswitch

The UK is rolling out smart meters to every property. In the past 2 winters (following on the Russian gas crisis), they have run programs that pay £3 per kWh reduced demand. This is a nice way to balance the grid during extreme demand.

Well I'm in the UK and there's a plastic bag tax of 25p per bag. Since that law was introduced, everyone comes to the supermarket with their own bag.

100/1024*86400/8 = 1054 GB every day You'd have to download 17 of those games every day to saturate your 100 Mbps connection. It's about 350 hours of Netflix streaming per day.

Nobody uses 100Mbps continuously. Not even close. Would probably average about 0.5% of that capacity. 16000/0.005 = 3.2 million customers. That's quite close to the 2.6 million they have on the page.
