static ip price is also 299+GST = almost 253 rs and if you opt with current plan, you will be paying 1196 rs. and for 1499 plan it will be 1769 rs per month.
so taking static ip does not worth, ask them for disconnection, if not giving bridge mode without static ip
hope you haven't paid for long period in advance.
 
I have paid long advance, but I insisted for bridge mode before and at the time of installation. I refused installation when they refused bridge mode without static IP, so should be able to get full refund. I have contacted account manager. Waiting for update. Installation is on-hold, will install only if they assure bridge mode, else cancel.
 
good, if they will do it. just take it in written from them else they could deny as well after installation
 
Yes, will install only if they guarantee. Won't let installation guy leave or provide happy code unless bridge mode is activated at the time of installation.

Anyway, in worse case, can't I just get static IP to get bridge mode enabled and then cancel static IP the very next day? The bill for static IP should be pro-rated and bridge mode should remain activated, right?
 
Ok guys, based on this thread, it is practically impossible to deactivate static IP. So, I guess I will most likely have to cancel the business internet. It is unfortunate as I do have a personal connection with bridge mode.
 
@Vickey007, is there a way to do this from Airtel thanks for business dashboard? I see an option for "Static IP Provisioning" there.

And you call business customer care, right? Maybe the difference is because the other thread is about consumer connection.

Also, is it cancelled without any technician visit? You have to switch from IPoE to PPPoE on your router? Or were you using static IP with PPPoE?
 
No, you can not remove static ip from Airtel Business Portal.
officially there is customer care number for business users (atleast told by eSupport). I either call to 18001029892 there regular customer care or write an email to business support to esupport@in.airtel.com from registered email address.

Process of activation and deactivation i had experience.
Apply for static IP, then an order number is generate, (Not a service Request). After sometime a tech is assigned and he called when static ip is provisioned and ask, how i need it? in default mode or bridge mode or firewall. I always took default one and in some time airtel's backend do the process and in-between internet goes down for couple of mins, reboot your ONT and you're on static IP.
When I am on static IP, my connection shows as IPoE from PPPoE in router.

For deactivation i wrote to esupport@in.airtel.com or call 18001029892.
when I wrote email to esupport, always a order number is generate same as activation and when i have to call to 18001029892, i have to make sure, a order number is generate instead a service request (otherwise it take another day or two for deactivation process) and order number always mention in sms as request ID 21-xxxxx.
when technician calls, just ask tell him you need to remove static ip, it take a day or two, until he forward request to backend and, again your internet is down for between couple of mins to couple of hours, till your connection back in PPPoE from IPoE in ont. Once internet starts, you are on a dynamic/public/local ip from static ip.

technician never visited, for any of process, either its activation or deactivation.
 
Thanks for the valuable information.

So you never opted for bridge mode. Based on the process you described, it seems that they will deactivate bridge mode (if you opted for it) when you cancel static IP. I will just cancel the business connection and continue with my consumer connection which has bridge mode enabled. They even seem to have applied 10% discount in the existing connection bill, probably because I raised disconnection request.
 
Maybe it's airtel monopoly to sell static IP more instead enable bridge mode directly.
Or you could tell them, it's enable in individual b2c plan then why not on b2b plan?
