If DHCP pool is same / same subnet, yes they can monitor traffic on your LAN.
Try this:
exc@123xCMon1t
but you can't do anything with it, No Internet and you can't even login to router gateway.

I got banned!
Unfortunately, Indians in general are expert at spying on neighbors, kids, grand kids, some else kids, facebook spying, insta spying. They don't care about privacy that much.
If you have nothing to hide, why worry?
That is the motto.
So, nothing is going to happen for about 100 years with regards to data privacy.
Most of delhi is funded by old people scammers who scam Americans with gift cards by stealing their data and phone numbers. It is a multi billion dollar scam industry in Delhi. joking.

I can confirm that excitel spy's on customers but only who has their newer WiFi onu's.
I can confirm because I applied for their customer care service job but I pulled myself out on the last day of the training. The company's work ethics are total shit.
They use TR069 to monitor literally everything (except browsing history/connections/queries made)
They can check when the device was up, connection made, how many WiFi or LAN devices are connected, what ports are they connected to, WiFi SSID and passwords, internal and external IPS, real time data transsfered/received, how far a wireless devices is (using signal strength) and maybe much more.
They can also modify any setting at any given time as they access your ONU with the same password you use or either a separate admin account on it.
I'm not sure if changing the password of the device will stop them from accessing but I'll do it anyways. And also they know about the hidden SSID they use to promote their so called "ISP" and I'm pretty sure its hardwired in the custom firmware.

In a day and time when all sites are via HTTPS and, depending on the configuration i.e. bridged mode or not, even DNS queries are encrypted they may be able to see very limited information. Now this information could be for the sake of data gathering under rules framed by the Govt or by Excitel itself. We don't know for sure.
Thing is if you're so paranoid shift away to a provider who gives you bridged mode, use your own router, switch to encrypted DNS and use a VPN on the router to make absolutely sure your nosey ISP gets limited data. Still paranoid? Disconnect from the internet and find yourself something to do that does not require an internet connection.
I've seen people on other security forums who go to extreme lengths to prevent hacking by the FBI and CIA. You need to know where to draw the line. ISPs and authorities will do what they want to do..like it or leave it. At least till privacy laws are put in place.
