[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 503742, member: 6969"] What on earth would you be using in your house to draw 100A? I would get an electrician in to do some tests on your installation. He would be looking for poor joints or faulty equipment in your consumer unit(s) and a vital test he needs to perform is the supply loop impedance or loop test. If all your own equipment is okay and not responsible for the voltage drop then you need to pester your supplier again. It does sound like they are having network problems. It would probably be worth you buying 2 bits of test equipment, a clamp on ammeter that you can leave on one of the meter tails that shows how much current your house is drawing, and a multimeter to measure the mains voltage.
