Update

Resolved

Good morning. Our network provider has indicated that the underlying issue causing this incident was resolved last night and data traffic is now restored, although full recovery is taking longer than expected.

We have seen traffic and transaction processing levels return to normal. A small number of customers may still be affected by this issue, due to ongoing network congestion as a result of the outage. It is expected that this congestion will ease over the coming hours and normal service will be restored to all customers.

Thank you for your patience while the network provider resolved this issue.

Update

Our network provider continues to send updates indicating their engineers are working on this issue as a high priority incident. They believe that full service will be resumed very shortly, as they indicate that the problem has been identified and remedial measures put in place. It is likely that a traffic backlog will cause some ongoing disruption to the network for some time after the problem is resolved, and we will continue to monitor the situation.

Again, CabCard apologises to those affected customers for the inconvenience. Thank you for your patience while the issue is resolved.

Issue

We have received a number of reports that some card payment terminals are unable to connect to the mobile network. Terminals may show the message “Connecting… please wait”. This began at approximately 17:45 today.

This issue is not believed to be restricted to a single geographical area. We are urgently investigating this with our network provider to find a resolution. Status updates will be posted here when further information is available.

All of CabCard’s services are working as normal. We apologise to all customers affected by this incident.
