My PLDT Bill
Posted by: | CommentsSo here comes a day where I normally wake up, take a bath, eat then sit in front of my computer doing all of my work at home (well I work at home because my employer is my own Dad). So I checked the time, its 2PM and I went to my bed for a little rest.
About 15 minutes later, I heard someone is knocking on our door. So I went up and I checked, its the mailman. I received a bill from PLDT that’s actually named to me. I was wondering if I should open it up or should I just leave it, then I opened it because I’m curious if mom paid the previous bill. Then I checked the balance and there came the horror

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGHHHH WTF
To my dismay, I found out that my current bill is 4,810.00 PESOS which is equivalent to 5 months(990 pesos per month) of overdue bills. Now, I don’t recall receiving any bill from PLDT last December and I do recall asking mom if she has paid the bills or not, she said she paid its because she pays my bills, not me. The account is just named to me.
Who wouldn’t find this disappointing? If its true that mom lied to me and she hasn’t paid 5 months of the bill then why would PLDT allow this kind of silent debt that I’m building? If I recall correctly, the internet in our cafe got cut off because of 2 overdue accounts. But this? 5 months? Oh come on, you’ve gotta be kidding me.
Aside from the debt problem, I have been experiencing a really bad latency on my internet while connecting to Singapore servers. And just this day, my internet is close to screwed for being really slow, slower than a limping hog. So am I paying this debt or am I going to wait till my internet gets fixed real good? It’s not just me that’s experiencing the really broken speeds but I have friends as well who are disgruntled about it.
Last but not the least, my landline is even close to broken. People can call my landline but I won’t know if they’re calling or not because the phone wont effing RING. If I call people with the landline, I can hear a little static and interference. It’s so broken, I don’t think I should be paying the bill.
About the debt, I’m gonna ask mom if she knows about this. And when I’m already going to pay, PLDT has to make sure that my landline and my internet gets fixed. I don’t want to keep on paying a service that’s broken and hassles you A LOT. Kiss that PLDT.
Oh well, I hope my internet gets disconnected for a few months so dad would be so disappointed about the work getting halted because the internet got cut. A lot of collaborating developers too would be pissed to find out that the internet connection of my mini-web server is broken. So yeah, wake up call.
Speaking of wake up call, here’s a really nice and sexy song from Maroon 5 titled “Wake Up Call”
Oh, my first post. Thanks for reading. Have a good day and good luck!
