Rep Power: 7 | Password theft is possible and this has nothing to do with the plan type. The risk in limited plans such as Home 500 or Home 250 is that if someone is "riding" your internet connection, that person will consume your bandwidth and your upload/download limit quickly and you will see a huge bill. The default BSNL password is 'password'. Everyone knows that. But now more and more internet connections from BSNL are port binded, i.e., you can connect to internet only from your phone line. If this is the case then it does not matter whether your password is known or not. So check with the local exchange whether internet connection is port binded. Also note that username and password, both are required, for a connection to be established.

Rep Power: 7 | Correct to the extent where port binding is in place. Port binding is not implemented everywhere. |
