You think it's bad now wait until the hydro rates triple, then you will be complaining.
I have a smart meter and I do whatever I can to run all the appliances at night (they all have a delay option now) and if not we do the laundry all weekend. No matter who is making me do it, or asking me to do it, the bottom line is that it is saving me a few bucks. When the rates skyrocket it will be a habbit and it will save me a few more. It's been a year and a half now and it has beccome the norm, my wife thought I was nuts a year ago.
It is interesting to watch the time of use stuff on line, you can see when the wife uses the hairdryer and coffee maker in the morning, then leaves for work, and when we ate dinner that day. I think THAT is what is behind all of this, the government leaning our every step! LOL
