BTW Guys, I made a discovery (although most of you might know it ), if you restart the modem 3-4 times, you might get connected to the right router. I am doing it for 3 days, and eventually I get 100 ping router instead of 200+ ping router. Just a matter of patience. Hope this helps.

So they first sent a guy who wanted to look at the default stuff - DNs server settings, modem settings etc. I had to go somewhere and anyway knew he wouldn't do anything special, so I sent him off.They then sent a better guy (my regular CTO) who had a look and said that basically they have to keep re-routing traffic as and when demand goes up. At those times, he said your ping rates would change. Some would go up and others should technically come down. (Though in reality most of the COD4 servers go up, and very few come down).Long story short, he said this is normal practice of ISPs all over the world, and there's nothing one can do about it. Someone else nearby who also had the same problem with COD4, shifted to MTNL but that was worse, so he came back to Airtel apparently.So I guess we have to lump it.
