It turns out that there was no problem with my settings or my modem.
After a week of trying different things, I took a day off work and took
my laptop and modem to the exchange. I had them disconnect my line from
the patch panel and punch in a new pair to connect directly to the
modem. Worked like a charm.
Now that they are convinced that it is a problem with my line, it's just
waiting until they fix it. Not sure how long that is going to take though.
Also, for all you BSNL users out there, he's a bonus. In case of
problems with your username, password, settings, etc, call 26330302.
This is the number of the office of a Mr Saha, a DE in BSNL. I didn't
get to speak to him but the people in his office know their stuff.
Infinitely better than the morons I talked to at the helpline number I
was given. They even took the time to go talk me through the settings of
my modem to confirm it was correct.
