My ISP is Dead !!

Sorry everyone, I couldn’t update this blog since two days because my ISP (BSNL) was dead due to some unknow fault. I tried to call the customer care, but I realized that even my phone was dead.

I could hear the dial tone, but when I tried to call, a man in a strange voice replied “Sorry, The Service not available”. This is why I hate BSNL !!!!

But I don’t have a choice, only BSNL is available at my place. One more ISP, Airtel is available just 100 meter from my place, but they refuses to lay cable till my house. The guy at Airtel says “Probabilty of customers near your residence is too low, So we don’t want to risk”, What does this mean huh ??

Syn: What’s wrong with BSNL these days ??

    Avi: Thanks for responding, I think Syn told you about this post, right ??

    I tried to contact the local telephone exchange, but they couldn’t do anything about it ;(

    After a day, Telephone started working, but my DSN connection was still not working, So I hooked up with thier call center. I later found that they had changed my password.
