I pay for my monthly satellite TV subscription with a bank transfer and for some obscure reason I forgot to pay it this month. I was still watching the World cup Cricket tournament, when a message popped up, saying that my account was in the arrears and they blocked my viewing.

Monthly direct debit services, 0 fees.

If I paid with Bitcoin, this same payment would have taken less than 20 minutes at most, but unfortunately this Satelite provider does not accept Bitcoin payment for this service. Angry

If your cricket match would have been in January last year you could have bought a yearly subscription just with the fee you were paying to get included in the next block.

A lot of people would have said, "Use your credit card" because it would have been much faster, but I prefer not to use credit cards to pay for things, because I hate adding to the debt problems of this country.

Oh, so you don't like the fast and free solution, you chose the worst one and then you blame the banks.
Sorry but this zealotism at its worse.

Like a guy with a sprain leg, he avoids calling the ambulance, limps alone for 10 miles to the hospital and then he is angry at the doctor his foot is actually broken now.

Yes, I think paying offline service bills through the Bank is still the best solution for now. So, users should be a little patient if there is a similar problem happening again. We don't even need to be angry if we miss that kind of match. Because there is already a video rerun of the match on YouTube. So relax. It takes time for them to research and adopt Bitcoin as an alternative payment.
