Lightbulb Sharing good DNS address ( non open-dns)

BSNL seems to be utterly inefficient when it comes to providing decent dns. There was a recent crisis over it which lasted a couple of days. So, feel free to share, if u know any good DNS ips. And please, no open-dns.

This info may come in handy on a bad day.

The Guide - DNS Servers in India Data Sheet - VSNL's DNS servers, haven't used those but are probably reliable.

actually if u go to run and get in cmd prompt

and press ipconfig/all


then u can see the dns server is automatically assigned by the bsnl

just see below the ppp adaptor


u can try this only if ur using bridge mode for windows dial up

PS : open dns works only for few people,it never worked for me,bsnl dns servers r more faster than open dns imo
