Because our line was still patched we needed termination letter which we didn’t had at that time so we’ve to come back again.
On our way home we discussed for other options and decided to get expensive WC 768K connection for 1.9K/month, so I ordered for connection and their representative came within 30 minutes to collect the money, they don’t even charge reconnection fee this time.
