Yes, you will be able to use the modem with new connection.All you need to do is:If on PPPoE mode Replace old Username and Password in your modem with new one.If in Bridge mode need not make any changes to the modem but change the Username and Password in your Dialer.

Dear Abhijeet,

Thanks for the reply. Since I am new - What is PPoE mode and Bridge mode ? How do I know in which mode I am ? Which mode is better ?
Presently I am using a Windows Dialer to connect to the internet by proving my username and password.

Kindly suggest.
Thanks.

They are two ways of configuring your ADSL connection. To put it in simple manner:

Bridge Mode: The way you connect now with a dialer.

PPPoE Mode: Always on. ADSL modem makes a connection when power is switched on. You do not have to dial anything in OS.

Your modem must have something similar:

Which is better? Well, keep all things equal and do a speedtest on Dataone.in to see if either mode is faster. For me PPPoE works better (more stable connection, higher speeds, lower latencies). But so many use Bridge mode without any issues, I'd say majority of Dataone users are using Bridge mode happily.


PS: There must be a user manual (electronic PDF copy on CD) with your ADSL modem. Else search online on manufacturer's site. That will have helpful information. Try these settings when configuring in PPPoE mode:

Which plan are you using sir? If you are on capped usage plans with night unlimited feature (eg: Home 500), remember to reset modem or start a new connection at 0205 hours and 0755 hours BSNL time (different from your PC's clock). Else you will get a huge bill.

Keep tab on your usage at bbservice.in portal.

This means you are connecting in Bridge mode (Connect/Disconnect option) via Dialer.

When using the same modem on your new connection you will only have to change the username and password that you provide in the Windows Dialer.

The new Username and Password will be provided by BSNL when you connection in activated.
