Smart Meter problems

I'd be really interested to hear how many of you have had smart meters fitted and then had an awful lot of problems, many needing engineer visits.
Both me and my brother had these meters fitted last year since when things have not run smoothly. And trying to get the smart meter team to permanently solve the problems is not working.

    Had them for years .Zero problems for me, best thing since sliced bread ! I read thousands of smart meters for British Gas ( I`m a meter reader ) and never hear of many problems with smart meters for domestics. The odd blank screen on the smart gas turns up occasionally . Odd that all these smart meter problems turn up on here in droves ! very odd, suspiciously odd !

    What do you mean by awful lot of problems ? Is this units not communicating readings, IHD not working- or what ?

    Not had any issues with 2 different domestics ; one isue with a commercial (in a stone cellar)
