i got a bill for 1lac 97 thousand odd. this was the pre dsl, DIAS times.
luckily i was in the US for work, and no one else used internet at my home
i went to the office, met the senior most guy, he looked at the bill and standardized it based on last 6 months usage.
in my case it wasn't data usage, apparently, there were some issues with the dias modem, which kept on activating the phone line due to the data voice filter not working, we were charged for 1lac 60 thousand odd calls, can you believe it.
my dad did ask me to pay the bill and inquired if i had dollars to settle the bill, once i was back - i bunked office for 2 days - the bill kinda scr3w3d me psychologically!!
Holy C#$p .that's one hell fo a bill.
Guess even the telecommuunications dept wont get such a bill i suppose.
