I think it is all running FTA because they have major problems with the encryption at the moment.

The problem must be more widespread than I thought.

My error is 'smartcard is not authorised' - sounds like they blocked alot of details and are having problems unblocking them.

It was meant to be fixed yesterday at lunchtime and update this morning was no ETA.

I know if I get home and its not working my Kids are going to eat me alive...

Enjoy while you can.

It may stay like that until the problem is sorted I think.

Imagine the claims for three days rebate by thousands of subscribers.

Their updated 'back end' will be pretty expensive if they have to pay everyone.

Is it related to the Viva system that Telstra switched over to recently, or is just a co-incidence?
