I am using dataone (new technology)'s internet connection. and I just read in this forum that there is a chance of password theaft in 500 plan.

I am afriad, Is it real ? Is there any chance of password theaft ?? I dont think so (password theaft is not possible, its my opinion) I want others opinion also.

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.

Correct to the extent where port binding is in place. Port binding is not implemented everywhere.

actually dear u are wrong , if any one knows some ones dataone password then he can suff anonymously. u cannot stop that unless u change ur password. actually what u were saying is not available on bsnl broadband but on BSNL'S NETONE FACILITY. it idetifies CLI.

niraj8241 · 23-01-2008, 03:31 PM

Even bsnl adsl broadband connections are port binded now with an exception of a few exchanges which will start doing it as well asap.
