Stupid Tip: What you could do when BSNL Broadband is down

My BSNL Broadband has recently been going down ever so often. It's been getting quite frustrating and any attempt to call the BSNL office doesn't really help, though the connection would be up after a little while.

One thing I noticed though was that after I made a call to the BSNL office (from my BSNL landline), the ADSL connection would be up again. At the time I just thought that the BSNL guys just fixed it.

Today morning, the ADSL connection was down again and I had no patience to call the BSNL office again; So what did I do?

I just picked up my BSNL landline for about 15 seconds and then voila! the ADSL connection was up again. Now I am yet to get a technical answer for what just happens, but for now I just think it's stupid. It works for me everytime and should be OK with me, atleast until the connection is fixed properly again.

Next time you face the same problem, try the above and let me know if it works.

UPDATE:
As promised, I found the technical answer for the problem here.
