Hello?! PLDT?! Are you there?!
Two weeks before we left our old home last month, we asked PLDT (Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co.) to transfer our phone line to our new home and apply for a DSL connection (we used to share an internet connection with Jung and Corinne -our neighbors- in our old house). For some odd reason, they couldn’t file the service request simultaneously. So we had to ask them to transfer our old telephone line first and when that’s done, request for internet connection.
They showed up at our old home the first Sunday after I made the transfer request. I was so amazed how fast they responded only to be disappointed later on. There was a mix up in the job order. The instructions were reversed. Instead of transferring FROM our old house towards the new one, the job order said to install a telephone line in our old house.
*sigh*
So I had to call and request for a line transfer all over again. It took them 2 weeks to install the phone line in our new home. As soon as they did, I called in to request for internet connection but they said that the last service request hasn’t showed up in their screens as “done”. So I had to wait another week. When I called back, I finally got to request for internet connection.
Here we are, a month and a half later and we still don’t have internet connection in the house. Which is really messing up with my blogging mojo. It’s so difficult to write during work hours. It’s just too exciting around here most of the time. And it’s usually at night when inspiration strikes.
Oh well. I called them yesterday. They said that the service request has already been forwarded to the contractor and that they’ll just help me follow them up. At this point, I’ve resigned myself to the fact that it will be another month before we get internet connection at home.
*sigh*
