hey everyone,

I just found this article which discusses important tips to significantly speed up your net access through BSNL Dataone Broadband connection & most other connections like Reliance or Tata Indicom or Sify Broadband.

Setting DNS For Your Connection

One of the major problems with BSNL Dataone Broadband connection is the DNS servers they provide by default. Most of the time they are very slow n sometimes they fail to respond. I noticed that I am starting 2 spend a significant amount of time in DNS resolution with dataone connection, often it is larger than the time it takes to actually get the response.

Here is a simple solution to significantly speed up your DNS resolution.

Open up the network connection profile n edit TCP/IP settings. In the DNS server address fields, specify d following

DNS server addresses: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

Disconnect the connection n then connect again. YOU ARE DONE!

This specifies 3rd party DNS servers which are significantly faster than BSNL Dataone’s DNS servers.
