Has BSNL stopped charging rent for ONT?

[Rahul Kalani]

I have BSNL FTTH taken directly from BSNL. I have taken TYPE A ONT on rent. But in the bill they dont charge rent for the ONT. In the bill its written like this
"Plan FTTH-FREE-NON-WIFI-ONT-TYPE-A". Anybody has any idea?

My bill comes 990Rs for 50 Mbps plan 600 Gb data

Both are identical devices with different brand names.

@newbie2902 @ChrisM So there are two separate bindings/whitelists which might be applicable

@ChrisM Which is your existing ONT?

Currently, I am using Huawei EchoLife HG850a. Thanks.

@ChrisM Why do you want to change the ONT? And to which ONT you'd like to change?

 

[ChrisM]

@varkey I want to get rid of the monthly rental charges. Any ONT you suggest is okay as long as it will be working for 2-3 years or more. I guess they don't go nonfunctional so easily?

But they both have different specifications like cpu, memory, flash etc. check the specifications links which I shared.

Please help me bro, I want to get rid of the monthly rental charges. Please suggest ONT which can be easily configured, I am also willing to change my router as well to support android calling. Thanks.

@Dark_Nate are these available in India?

 

[Dark_Nate]

@Rajneesh Rana Why didn't you bother to check on Amazon.in? Obviously they are available in India, why would I suggest something that's not?

I have the TP-Link XN020-G3v right now.
