it is very sad that you have to go through all this

Don't you have any other ISP in your area which you can move to?

BSNL BB is provided by a fixed telephone landline. You can apply for a landline + BB together. And if you subscribe to any of the following packages, landline rent is waived off:

1. UL 750+
2. UL 1350+
3. Home 500 C
4. Home 500 C+

I certainly beg to differ.

1. BSNL does not disconnect unless the bill is not paid even after 15 days of last due date. This is very much stated. I have been disconnected only once in my tenure with BSNL for the past 15 years but was restored back within a day or two. BSNL disconnects only outgoing calls initially. BB is disconnected after complete termination of services.
2. I have been able to get customer support within 2-5 minutes everytime. The trick here is to select the local language option instead of English.
3. BSNL billing is transparent. They have the usage portal where one can clearly track how much one is using the bandwidth.

On the point that I agree is that BSNL CC executives are not always able to help. But I have found the Pune guys to be quite competent technically. Of course the situation may not be the same elsewhere.
