That is right. I prefer prepaid metres too. You just pay your electricity bill then manage how you use it on your own. You know, you are more careful when you know that you are accountable for electricity outage at any time.Most people in this part of the world use postpaid metres. But personally I prefer prepaid metres because if I don't use some things, nobody will assume that i used to it. I will try as much as possible to conserve it by not using some things.
