I've been very hesitant to get one installed as I've heard nothing but horror stories.

Mine has been fine, although it has stopped sending readings back to base which is annoying.

The only people who should avoid one are those struggling to pay bills as it seems they can switch you over to prepayment.

Given how easy it is to become struggling, I wouldn't risk it.
