I was not aware that the world is moving from Copper to Fiber even for Landlines. But, i guess, most Indian Landlines (at least the BSNL), if not Airtel and others, rely on copper for communication.

I know that Reliance and Airtel have also moved from copper mostly, if not in all cities. But, isn't there a technology where landline doesn't need modem to be ON for it work? If NO, then there is a need for this in the future.
 
All electronics need power. Your old copper landline was also constantly "switched on". The only difference is the power for it came all the way from the telephone exchange through the copper telephone wire.
 
The issue that i mentioned in this thread has been finally resolved. The root cause was due to some mis-configuration in the OCLAN switch at the BSNL exchange. The packet loss issue is not easy for the BSNL guys to debug. Most of the local in-charge are not so technically equipped to handle these kind of issues, and mostly rely on the instructions provided to them by the regional NOC team. I got some good support from the local cable operator, and once we did a thorough troubleshooting on the OLT, it could be confirmed that the issue is with the BSNL switch. Finally after trying different ideas like changing switch ports, copying configuration from working port etc., finally the packet loss issue is solved. I can say, that the troubleshooting need to happen in a structured manner , until the device that is dropping the packets is located. Before anything else, first ensure that the traffic from the ONT to the BNG is working fine. The simple ping test should not show any packet loss.
