you can also try changing the default MTU in your modem settings.sometimes setting it lower(default is usually 1483 or 1500) helps.

dear sir,
I am new to all this, Some detailed explanation would be appreciated!

whitestar_999 · 03-05-08, 07:39 PM

in my modem in LAN settings there is "MTU" setting which is 1500 in my case.there should be this setting in your modem & should be set around 1483 or 1500.lower it to say 1460 & then see if it helps.

dear admin,
is this dns still giving speed nearer to actual????

dear_srik · 03-28-08, 01:30 PM

I wanted to clarify the people who misunderstood the original post.

First some insights:

Every website we open by typing a URL eg: Yahoo! is actually a domain name. It has to be converted to the appropriate IP address eg:191.100.10.10, it is the address of the server where the web pages are stored, in order to download the web page to your browser.

This conversion from Domain name to IP address is done by DNS servers. So, every URL you type requires the services of DNS servers. Hence, DNS servers come into play only when conversion is required.

what the original post intend to say is, as the BSNL provides default DNS servers, every body uses them and hence load will be more and thus delay in converting domain name to ip address. If you use any third party DNS then there may be increase in this "name resolution" ie conversion. Hence, you can notice that websites load faster.

But most of you mistook that it will increase download speeds, it is wrong because if I want to download a file of 10 MB. I request DNS server only once for 'name resolution' and once the browser finds the IP address the download starts directly from the server and DNS server is not in the loop at all.

By using faster DNS server you can only notice speed in loading websites, ie if It takes 5 seconds to load a website when I use a busy DNS server, it may take 4 seconds if I use other DNS server. Hence, while browsing you can see some difference but not while downloading files.

Hope its clear now

DNS uses udp packets for resolving domain to ip .just changing dns ip address wont make website to load faster

Thanks for your valuable suggession. After modifying DNS configuration my BSNL Broadband 750UL connection speed up from 200 Kbps to 300~400 Kbps.
Thanks again. Here is the proof...

saesms · 07-19-08, 04:40 AM

is there anyway to increase the upload speed i am in 500c+ plan my upload speed is not more than 6-8kb/s any way to increase it,

i am using rapid uploader, anyother software to do this?

thanks

whitestar_999 · 07-19-08, 09:42 AM

6-8kbps is too low.try uploading directly through rapidshare site to see how much speed you get.

robert_0007 · 07-19-08, 05:18 PM

Every time I change my DNS from BSNL DNS to Open DNS. I got slow speed. means to open a page took much time why?

kingsu · 08-10-08, 01:35 AM

I will try this 2 day

friendraja · 10-23-08, 02:44 AM

hey can any one help me to increase my download speed...i am using bsnl 750+ UL plan n i am, getting only 30-32 kbps while downloading...while some of my friends get nearly 200..can anyone help me increasing..n dont tel tat for a plan of 256 kbps i get only 32...pls

itsmemad · 10-23-08, 02:50 AM

I know its hard to swallow... but the truth is that u r getting correct download speed with ur plan of 750 UL... And ur friends must be having home 500 c or 500 c+ plan... in which they can get speed upto 256 kBps...

Thats it,
BSNL artificially limits UL750 plan to 32KB/s.
Infact,its just 24~26KB/s at user's end max.

Shame on BSNL for such misery...We are paying 9k per year...and thats no Joke

BNSL is restricting speed in UL750 plans but for that limitation it is giving you unlimited usage. All other plans have limited usage. And if you exceed the usage, you will pay through your nose.

bhvm · 10-23-08, 08:45 PM

I know that..
I come from Home 250 plan.

However a Speed drop from 200KB/s to 20KB/s is really hard to swallow

Mr.Tooth Fairy · 10-23-08, 10:19 PM

aditya i think thts more than enough.. u should be happy u getting such nice speeds.. u expecting somewhere around 400KB/sec?? one of my friend is getting those speed in germany... lol.. mate this is India.. rest i think admin should tell properly........

kailash · 10-23-08, 11:01 PM

Thanks
