    Smart meters- anyone had problems?

    Hi all. Anyone had any problems with installations with a smart meter, after removing the (unsealed) DNO fuse & then reinstating the supply i.e. Do they throw a wobbly or just continue to work as normal? I appreciate that they can issue a supply failure signal to the MOP, but anything else? Cheers.
