I am in victoria. we are on monthly billing but they don't do a readiing every month. If we get an estimated bill that is over the meter reading we just ring through the correct meter reading and get them to reissue the bill! I am shocked that they are trying to charge you to read the meter. Your eyes are just as good as theirs and it all works out in the end as you have to pay eventually when they read it, so there would be no point in lying!
Just got our bill. Even though our daily usage is about the same, infact I think it is down just a smidge from last quarter, our bill is up by $90. I know ours is not an estimate as the reader has to come into our house to do them and for some reason I happen to be home every time.
