i fail to understand why SO MANY of them do not bother changing their default admin password. Even now, you can just randomly try connecting to MTNL IP addresses (determine them from your mtnl ip address) and in a lot of cases the login box will pop up and in most cases the default password would still be active.
Cause the mtnl triband specialist skips in every few weeks to resolve your plaint and presses reset which will reset all your settings to the factory default, leaving you wide open to everything on the web.

But just as you need to enter the account number/password (to connect via PPPOE), to get it going, they should also make sure that you cannot proceed till you have changed the default password for the router.
Another place where users are careless are with their wireless networks. unsecure networks free-for-all. But I am not complaining.
