Setting DNS in the router eliminates the need to do the same in 28 devices at home.

I got the situation marginally improved by compromising on download speed to the extent of 2 Mbps. I requested them to change my download speed from 10 to 8 Mbps and increase upload from 512 Kbps to 1 Mbps.
28 devices? You should be able to afford a better connection than bsnl then,how do you manage such a small daily/monthly fup with this many devices.

I am not sure about the ONT, but you can change it in your ₹ 1k wifi router.

28 might be an overstatement now that I think about it. I have 3 phones, 2 laptops, one desktop. Wife has 3 phones. 2 sets of parents each (they don't live with us permanently but are here more than 7 days a month).
I never use BSNL DNS. I also do not want Google DNS. Generally it is Cloudflare but was Quad9 previously. Sometimes a particular DNS stops working or is too slow so I switch to another such as FreeDNS or DNS Watch(?).
From the router it is a simple change done over wifi from bed/chair. I cannot imagine switching all these devices individually.
You can always use your own wifi router & use that with bsnl modem acting as bridge which is effectively the same thing & is even recommended as you will have much more control over your own router/device compared to service provider's device.
Going through all the discussions and the sympathetic posts about BSNL only shows the heartburn of Govt. employees as their organization or sector may be the next in line or people are that much naive to love BSNL saying it was their first BB connection. My first internet connection ( used at home ) was Reliance CDMA, then came BSNL CDMA unlimited connection at 144 Kbps, later BSNL BB and now I use Jio, Airtel and local cable connection. The point is transformation and up-gradation. If you can not cope up with demands and the latest norms just move away.
BSNL far too many employees compared to the service they offer, We pay our taxes but does it mean every one need to use BSNL connection just to save a non contributing but revenue wasting entity like this for ages just to fortify it's employees - when they get a pay hike without offering any comparable service do they ask the users, do bsnl review the performance of it's employees. BSNL need to go down fast and hard. As for connectivity their wireless service is enough and on wired front all players have to have a level playing field.
Actually govt. giving a relief package to BSNL is the opposite of a level playing field. Many love BSNL because they can get discount and free wired connection from it through many policies and people love to boast about it. But all these freebies are being paid by us. Govt. should only keep the wireless section of BSNL as it's only one which may be crucial - rest services should be as per other market players and same goes for it's employees. Only this way the sarkari babu attitude can be brought down and we can hope for a better BSNL - BSNL's transformation to 4G is the one step towards that direction.

Completely agree by your points, @topgear , my Friend.
A week has passed but not a single reply from the BSNL official, who was assigned with the task of providing BharatFibre(FTTH) connection under 600 GB CUL Plan of BSNL.
I ringed him twice(his mobile no. was provided) after I had registered for the same,of getting a FTTH connection.
The Idiot told me that he will conduct a survey ,whether any existing FTTH line is active in my area or not. In that way,only I could be assigned a FTTH connection otherwise not.
Agreed. He told me that he will ring me back and inform me about the latest updates of the connection.
WHERE IS THE COMMITMENT OF RINGING BACK?????????????????????????? EVEN IF I DO NOT GET FTTH CONNECTION FROM BSNL.
This clearly shows the state of affairs and apathy of BSNL towards its customers. I AM STILL ON EXISTING TELEPHONE LINE (only voice)PAYING Rs. 353.00 PER MONTH.
BSNL MY FOOT.

If you are keen on getting BSNL FTTH I think you need to do the hard work. Can you find anyone with BSNL FTTH connection in your locality ? Then you need to catch up with that guy. But ask yourself all these trouble worth the end result. If no then wait and look for better alternative.

back in 2007, i asked one Airtel bb manager - "its over 3 weeks since i applied, how many months you need to install it at my place or reject my application?" i was told they did not had any port free and it was running at full capacity in my area.
in the afternoon at 2pm, someone called me up n said - we are at your home, please allow us to do the wiring. i told them since only my parents are there, they are not allowed to open the door for anyone as per my orders. they pleaded a lot but i didn't relent. after i reached home they all came around 6 and started the wiring process. after some time they all vanished. i saw them doing something here and there. later at around 10, i went out for smoke and saw the commotion was still going on. i told them to come back tomorrow. they started pleading again. when i said NO, they touched my feet and said sir we all will lose our job if your connection is not activated today. i couldn't say anything more.
they came back after some 45 minutes and the connection was activated on that day.
i asked a neighbour how is bsnl bb and he said jab chalta hai to isse badhiya kuch nahin. i said - JAB and he replied yes JAB.
in 2011 when we shifted to another area ( slightly far away from city area at that time), i asked for bsnl BB. no one called back though i was assured someone will call back.
after some time, i tried to get bsnl data card and was ready to pay for 6 or 12 months advance. the guy who was supposed to sell it didn't come. no calls were made also. when i asked him, he said you are living in new area and i am residing in old area, its too far away from my place.
i called up tata indicom and the executive was there in 30 minutes.
after few months, i called up airtel for 3g data card and the guy was there in 45 minutes.
i remember in a bsnl office someone asked a bsnl commercial officer about BB. that so-called office told him to look at the wall where everything is written.
barring 4-5 people who i have met, i have noticed that everyone in bsnl has a real big ego and a sarkari attitude. they need someone who can cane their behind only then they will understand.

Already about 70k employees are onto exit through VRS scheme,may be increased to more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wondering how could BSNL function???
Though, contract based staff could be created through employment and recruitment, wherein BSNL and the Govt. of India won't have to bear excess liabilities/responsibilities of wage and staff benefits including pension. Thus less load on exchequer.
I think,Govt. is moving towards that direction.

A lot of engineering graduates have joined BSNL in the last 10 years. Hopefully among those remaining they will gain bigger voice and are also motivated enough to function.
Transition period is going to be hell for both remaining employees and customers.

TT says that of the total 1.5 lakh employees, only 1 lakh is eligible for VRS.

In that case, may be 50k employees are sufficient to run BSNL-MTNL(after merging) throughout Pan India.
