Broadband Surprises with Airtel (Free upgrades for everyone)

[wecaz]

Modem D-Link DSL 2730U
Modem login default password is the account number.

I wonder what would be the password for PPPoE(dsl id)?
It is a 10 digit one (maybe account number).

Yes. It is the account number for new connections.

 

[wecaz]

How can I change this PPPoE password from account number to something else?

 

[x720]

Ask CC. I don't think its allowed anymore.

Got a 1Gb topup on a pure 1mbps (No FUP) connection

Would have been great if they had instead provided me with a
speed bump. But at 649/- per month I'm not complaining!

Rapid 1899: Speed 2 mbps until 80GB and unlimited voice calls (local, std)

I paid 1000 online. I am supposed to get 100 cashback for 5 bills.
Airtel surprise page does not identify my connection. Maybe because it is new.

In Airtel records, my connection is active since 19th, but they did wiring on 21st. I guess they have started billing from 19th itself.

You can get 8mbps in 999/- with No FUP
