So my wife received a text from our new neighbor about being displeased with the new meter going up that points at her courtyard. She’s claimed to have read all the dangers of it and wants it relocated. From the get go she struck me as a nit-picky neighbor. Bottom line, is this something we can be taken to court over? I wouldn’t think so.....

She is afraid of something that can’t hurt her? No, you can’t be taken to court.

A meter that the electric company installed and most likely installed at her place as well?  




She can kick rocks. She cant do shit about it. Sounds like your going to have issues with this new cat lady living next to you.

If your neighbor owns and uses a cell phone and/or has a wi-if router in her residence, she has no merit for her concerns regarding your meter.

Your property, your rules.  

However, I would let the neighbor buy you a shield for the electric meter at her expense.

Sounds like she doesn't know anything. I'm not aware of any electric meters that use a cellular interface. Most are either 900mhz or send signal back through the power lines. They sometimes have an IR communication method as well for local configuration purposes. Like your TV remote.

None of the above is harmful under normal circumstances. Abnormal? You'd have to be trying to eat it while it's transmitting and even then it's arguable.

I would tell her you too are concerned as you read that those meters can see through walls into the bedroom.

No has the understands. Assume the meter is being relocated & replaced? If not, then why is this an issue all of the sudden.

How far from all the things is this meter? MS paint?...



...also, tell her to take it up with the utility company as it’s their 5g meter

If you want I can pull the unused satellite dish off the roof of my house and send it to you. Then you can point it at her house. Maybe stick a big Verizon logo on it for extra scary.

Just the meter correct? and not a 5G tower/transmitter?




I was happy when they finally installed a smart meter at my house. No need to leave my side gate open so that the meter man can get in just to read the meter. Pretty weak signal from the meter, just enough that a passing Edison van can read all of the signals. My cell phone puts out a stronger signal.

Why do you think that the neighbor is going to sue you over the equipment that the electric company installed?

Even if she does sue you, so what?

One of the things added to the protocol side of 5G was telemetry/telematics stuff. One of the larger IOT modem suppliers (Telit) is selling 5G telemetry products, so it's quite likely it really is a 5G meter if the infrastructure is in the area. The network providers don't want to lose out on that market.

Of course 5G doesn't necessarily mean it's running in the mm wave bands, either.
