why are they charging me 8000rs just for cable 😢

Ask them how much cable they need. Where does it start where does it end. And buy it yourself once lockdown is finished.

@partymonger actually i had cable installed already but a segment of that cable( around maybe 100 metre) is destroyed by monkeys . but that LCO guy is not charging me for that 100 metre , he is charging for full 800 metre saying that it cannot be joined easily ... what the hell 😡

@invisible007 - It can be joined from the two points where wire is not damaged. And can be tested to see if the joint is good or not. You can also check to see other providers. These bsnl operators have become greedy off late since people are becoming dependent on them. Which is why it is necessary to have competition.

A fibre cable can be easily joined....even bootle can be used over joints.It cost 300 rs only at max to join it....he is looting you.
Either tell him that cable will be yours exclusively or don't go with it.

Is there any method to find out the daily usage statistics session wise . The bsnl portal is just minimalistic. I just want to know the session wise download and uploaded data on a daily basis..

It includes ONT. Not willing to give breakup. Says 4.5k flat. All BSNL deposit etc will come in first bill afaik. He's not paying any of that.

BSNL's deposit isn't much, just one month rental right and that isn't really bad, cause it's truly post-paid. However for other operators like Spectra or Excitel or Act etc, its in a way prepaid. So it is pretty much the same.

You can waive off the deposit if you were using a connection already.

Tell him you already have an ont. The Netlink one is around 1.8k( wifi+rjport) when I bought.i guess the breakup would be as follows - 2k for installation and 2k for the ont.
If it's just a normal ont without wifi,then the price won't be justified.
The only way you can get the best deal is if u have an adsl line. Then u could take some price from bsnl's first payment.

That's paid to bsnl not to the LCO.. Maybe Sometimes the LCO might be paying on his behalf but that rarely includes first month payment. And yes if you do have a bsnl adsl or even just Landline line before , there is a good chance that there might be some deposits left on the bill. Ask the bsnl office in your town to reduce the amount from the advance that you have paid. That way you can avoid paying any extra charges to bsnl's side. 😊👍

I have been asked to pay for 6500 even my home is in the range of 75 meters from the local touch up point they arent telling me any details for the extra amount

@Rudram saraf Do you have other options like jio/airtel etc? 6500 is way too much

6500 is way too high. Ask bsnl jto/sdo to interfere as these prices will hurt their customer base. Worth a shot.
