Rep Power: 6 |  it could be possible.. it all depends.. if your connection is port binded then you dont have to worry.. but if you friend is close by and you are able to access his account.. then others may be able to access yours too!! |

More over you said you are able to access your friend's account on your connection, so yours is not port binded, | |

Rep Power: 3 | okay thanks...so my connection isn't port binded! anyway...i've changed my password. kept a strong one this time. One more thing i wanna ask, i applied for my plan change to Home 900 which is now Home 750. My account status showed Home 750 Open 2 days back, Future Dated yesterday and Provisioned today!!! And i am still getting 2Mbps speed. So i am still using the net cautiously. Can u tell me is my plan changed now or what's going on?? |

| Platinum Member  | well provisioned means your plan is changed but then you should not be getting 2mbps speeds.since its BSNL don't take risk & wait for the bill first which clearly mention your plan as unlimited. |

You have said that you could login by using your friend's account. Assuming that your friend is in your city/town, it is equally likely that someone else can login with your account (in your city). Best way, as suggested above, is to change your default BSNL password and make it a really strong one - at least 10~12 chars with a healthy mix of uppercase/lowercase letters, numbers and special characters. Edit: Apologies - I see that you have already taken the steps
