MTNL ISP blacklisted
MTNL is one of the popular broadband internet provider in the city of Mumbai. They provide broadband connection with speeds upto 2Mbps using ADSL technology that uses the existing PSTN line.
I have been using MTNL at home for last 2 years and except for the pathetic customer service and horrible billing issues, I do not have anything to complain.
But that changed recently!!!
Working with some custom php application to detect blacklisted IPs, I realized that most of the IPs assigned to MTNL are blacklisted at SORBS and other popular blacklist providers.
Realizing the seriousness of situation, I emailed the IP administrator of MTNL Triband service at dgmbbmbi@mtnl.net.in but as expect, didn't receive any reply.
I called up the customer service number 1504 to just let them know about the issue. But again, as expected, the lady on the phone had no clue about IP blacklisting. She suggested me to contact MTNL local exchange in my area.
The only solution I see for this problem is to pay extra and get a static IP from MTNL or switch ISP :-)
