There have been a large number of unwanted calls being received from numbers tarting +91-731 This is a pain and there is no way I can find to stop it. This is happening on a mobile number registered in DND registry of India and have selected to not receive any kind of promotional calls etc.

There is a very common issue reported by thousands of users so far related to some random websites opening automatically while using BSNL. It happens when a user clicks on a web page and it opens up a new tab with some advertisements or malware. This happens once in a while and is very annoying. BSNL must look into this issue and fix the issue of websites being opening automatically.

BSNL Broadband has a policy of redirecting users to some pages randomly that servers ads or some other information. Here is one massive fail of BSNL automatic redirecting where some websites are opening and some websites are not opened and redirected to their (BSNL's) page.

Ever spotted job posts like these on upwork? This dumbass wants content of a full website for just $5???? Really????? That's not the end. One more disease in the freelance community.... Another example... two job posts side by side with exact requirement. Look at the vast difference in the budget... Any finally upwork is a platform for some guys for obtaining premium digital products illegally.

You would probably won't like to send a marketing email like this. Here is a screenshot of an email I received.

1 Week and My BSNL Internet is still down. The tech guy who visited told me that the port associated with my number is changed to 321 from 322. Getting the ADSL lights on, can see up linking and downloading rate on the modem but Internet is not working as my wire is hooked to wrong port. This is a shame for a service provider like BSNL. A few days I dialled from my landline number on my cellphone and the number from which I received the call was different. Such a high level of mess in BSNL. They probably did the same and hooked my connection to some other account and I am sitting scratching my ass for last 7 days and seeing this error.

BSNL Selfcare is the portal where users can manage their account related to BSNL eg Landline, Broadband etc. Once the registration is complete, they are suppose to send email with verification link on registered email address (provided during registration process) but the email never arrives. When I tried calling the support number, they have such a high level of stupid people working for them as customer support agents that they don't even know the process of self care registration and do no understand what is an account verification email. You may end up reaching twitter handle of BSNL which is often seen thanking people in every second tweet, and they will ask you to provide your landline or mobile number in public on twitter. God, help the users of BSNL!!!

Looks like Airtel need a long way to go as they have not been able to fix the problem with our broadband connection. The speed is 16 mbps but it is worthless if not stable and there are so many disruptions. Good bye bad service.
