I believe I'm ahead of you in the frust race.
What I did was change the password on the site. Then launch the
ADSL modem configuration and change the login details and Save. Then I had
a couple of days with the new password. Then a overall network outage happened.
i.e. even the 1504 ppl couldn't connect.
then they came back on and I was still out. Many calls later... I had a guy
asking me to do everything on the modem conf except stand on my head. In the
end I happened to mention that I had changed the password to non-default
value. It was like I committed some sacrilege to ancient MTNL gods.
He asked me to reset it back and never change it again. I did the same
and sure as hell it worked the very first time.
So ... get your own conclusions.
