Hmm, I live in Bangalore and I've been hounding the Customer Service Cells for my connection to no avail. Maybe its area-specific, like how DIAS was and they're planning to rollout in different areas at different times. But how about the connection itself? Are there port restrictions?

There is absolutely no way around a MAC binding as its probably entered in the router's ACL and set to deny access from any other MAC address. It's crap, but that's the way most ISPs (the LAN based ones) are migrating to avoid freeloading and in some cases, using multiple computers to share a single connection at home (although this can be easily bypassed with a proxy/NAT)
