The capacity of a gas pipe and/or gas meter depends on the pressure of the gas flowing through the pipe and/or meter.
The gas bill shows a pressure factor that suggests the gas is being metered at 2# pressure (rather than a more common pressure of 6" to 10" water column.) The pressure flowing through the 1/2" gas line MAY be considerably higher. The 1/2" gas pipe should be more than adequate if it is carrying 10# pressure, but is drastically undersized if it is only carrying 2# pressure. Someone in the gas utility will know the pressures in the gas mains. The customer service person answering phone calls may not be this person.
I don't know what size meter is installed, but seriously doubt that the meter is the cause of any low pressure. In my area, a 250 meter is the most common residential size, and it should have no problem handling the combined load---especially with a 2# pressure. The accuracy of the meter may suffer very slightly under extreme loads.

Today's Featured Article - The Ferguson System Principal An implement cutting through the soil at a certain depth say eight inches requires a certain force or draft to pull it. Obviously that draft will increase if the implement runs deeper than eight inches, and decrease if it runs shallower. Why not use that draft fact to control the depth of work automatically? The draft forces are
