In Switzerland I always thought the quarterly invoice of Billag was quite a pain and inefficient. While I still think Billag could be invoiced in a more efficient manner I had to learn that utilities can also be paid in more complicated manners, eg in China.
Utility - Payment time - Payment method
Hot water - Pay after use - Pay in cash at the property office
Cold water - Pay after use - Quarterly bill in mailbox which has to be paid at any bank
Gas - Pre-pay - You need to charge your account in advance, only one bank can do this in Beijing
Electricity - Pre-pay - Charge in advance by paying cash at the property office
