we’ve been a customer for as long as i can remember ng globe landline, and for globelines broadband mga 2 years na. pero sobrang pambabastos ang ginawa nila sa amin. nagoverdue kami ng bayad for a month tapos i made it a point to settle on the day na sinabi nilang puputulan kami ng phone/internet, pero after payment, dinisconnect nila kami ng walang abog abog. tapos nung tinawagan namin to ask for reconnection, sabi ng magaling na call center person, 24 hours, na naging 48 hours, na naging 72 hours, na naging hanggang ngayon (more than 4 days na). araw araw naming tinawagan at inupdate pero sa sobrang pagkaincompetent nila, at pagkagahaman sa pera, walang nagawa ang mga magulang ko kundi magantay ng reconnection.
ipapadisconnect ko na ang landline ng globe, pati internet nilang mabagal. ang daming option dyan. imagine 2 years naming tiniis bayaran ang 1800/month (nung kinuha namin, walang promo promo) at the astounding speed of 20 kbps (i have the screenshot of the speed test to prove), pero ganun ganun na lang kaming bastusin ng globe na yan.
i discourage anyone to avail of this very customer unfriendly service from the most inconsistent and most unreliable service provider.

I should think too that the first time a Meralco man came and checked, they could have pinpointed the problem even before the electrician and the neighbors did. When they found an alibi it was out of their hands, they stopped na? Not everyone is endowed with bitch powers.

I don’t think I’m that confident in bringing out the bitch powers myself. But your pointers are absolutely correct. I’ve noted each one.

Noemi, we have had the same problem Saturday night around 7pm when the wires around the block started exploding like firecrackers. And if its just electricity, how come our PLDT service was also affected. We had the electricity restored and wires repaired around midnight and phone service restored Wednesday pa.Tagal dumating Meralco, houses could have been affected by then, good things there were two fireturcks on a standby just in case.

Imagine, halos sabay-sabay. LAst night too, brownout again, and no PLDT at the same time. I have been wondering why these two are happening together.

@mia- why do we need bitch power to make these men move.

@jhay- tama. I have more to say about consumer protection but that will be in another entry.

Congress should really look into how utilities conduct their customer support services. We need more consumer protection laws. jhays last blog post..Globelines broadband speed cannot be upgraded in Silang, Cavite
