Attention (Very Important):

To check if your ADSL line is working, the ADSL led will first blink and then glow continuously after you connect your Modem/CPE to the phone line.

If there is no response showing (no continuous glow) in the ADSL Led of your Modem/CPE, Please contact the corresponding NT MDF (local exchange) to query if there is any problem in your ADSL line.

Attention !!!

If your phone line has Home metering (16 KHz) facility, you need to specifically mention it while subscribing ADSL service. You need to install the splitter supporting Home metering, otherwise your home metering facility will not work after ADSL subscription.
