Hi,
I assume "FTTH Broadband" means, a broadband (DSL) connection, that one (as a BSNKL Fixed Line customer), can subscribe too.
If I am in error, please let me know (so that I can re-post this this thread, elsewhere).
This thread concerns the password associated with my broadband connection. I recently requested BSNL customer service to reset mine (because I needed to reconfigure my ADSL modem).
The BSNL staff seem very casual about resetting or divulging the password over phone - I only needed to tell them my fixed line number (and they did not even carry out any confirmation/ checks)
By broadband userid/ password, I am referring to the the userid/ password one will have to set in, when configuring ones's own ADSL modem/ router. If these details are divulged, I think anyone can reconfigure their modem/ router and start eating into my BSNL broadband bandwidth (if they subscribe to a BSNL fixed line telephone).
Is such misuse possible ? Can it be prevented?
I tried to change the password, via selfcare.wdc.bsnl.in and I was redirected to a new window IP address: 172.180.1.1 (or something like that) - with error - Server Timed Out, and so I could not set my own password (and had to get it reset to the default value).
Any comments?
thanks
