In May 2006, ~173MB download during NU hours got charged to my non-NU 1GB/mo. quota. For details go to following link:

This is the reason why I always schedule to reboot my router at 12:30 from the day I booked this plan last year. Though I never got billed for NU downloads. I do face some connectivity problems as reported by other MTNL users on other broadband forums but truly MTNL rox in my area. I'm wish they start with DU plans soon as BSNL have done in Pune (Rs. 900 p.m)and other cities.
Regards.

My overbilling is not settled as yet, so bill remains pending. MTNL had disconnected outgoing but a call to the Officer (billing ithink) fixed that. MTNL Vikhroli has not had feed back from Fort according to the billing dept. And register.mtnl.net.in remains down. Intermitent disconnections seem to be happening in Colaba and Andheri. Thane, Fort, Vikhroli, Kalwa seem to be fine. Thane was down for several hours last saturday. Upgrades according to a senior manager.

Even a small trickle of rain disrupts their services. Otherwise their service is quite stable. They need to work on their waterprofing. However its safer than the cable connections. A client of mine got his on-board ethernet card fried, post thunder and lightning.
In case anyone is using 2 cards in their net access machine, then its better to keep the cable connection in the PCI card and LAN in the on-board one. A PCI card is more easy to replace.

Doesnt matter. A lightning will kill your board no matter whether its a PCI or an onboard card...

It need not be as big as lightning. It can be some static or leakage that kills the ethernet part only. I just got that mobo repaired in warranty after its ethernet card conked out in one of the rainiy sessions. Then I reconnected the cable in the other PCI card and kept the LAN for the on-board device.

I second that. I've lost an ethernet card last year due to a lightening strike. I also lost my DVD player. Luckily the card was PCI, and I was using the onboard card for my home network.

Predicting failure modes for high voltage discharges is very non intutive. Regular circuits behave in a very non linear fashion when subjected to high voltages. You have lightning simulation rooms wher high voltage - 1 megavolt ++ - discharges take place between two points in the room. Place your device in the room to find out how good it is. Entering the room makes your hair stand straight antennas and frontends recieve a direct jolt.
