Even after surrendering the phone number and ftth modem 6 months back, today I got a new bill for the month of Nov 2021. Now I have to search for received document I tool from them as proof and go there and punch some faces.
 
Still exist and now merged with BSNL, unless they have major changes they'll cling to life because it's government but will never succeed.

Due to these guys, government banks have to suffer too.
 
Err... They had a lot of years to work hard, they just didn't care. Relying on their last bit off customer base left.
