Thread: Increase Speed of BSNL Broadband connection

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, that really helped~!

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...

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

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

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?

I will try this 2 day

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

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.

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

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

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........

I got 4kbps increment

but it make difference Thanks

hey guys tel me if i change my plan to 500+ , wil i get speed of 256 or near while downloading...

U'll get speed around 200kBps... and thats not bad I guess... But the problem is that its data transfer is limited to 1.5 GB/month for home 500 c (Rental Rs. 500/month) and 2.5 GB/month for home 500 c+ (Rental Rs. 600/month)... U can download large files only between 2-8am cuz its a night unlimited plan...

Yes This is INDIA...

My sis getting 20Mb/s Connection for same price in NY!
YO!

Thats sooo true... Indian isps are a rip off

Hopefully with time there will be more competetion and the prices will come down and speeds will get better

hi guys
i am using same DNS server i.e 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 but i cannot get much speed which is required for while i check downloading it shows 50kbps . i have question that with this two DNS Server which is good this increses speed but not much so i want to change my ip address also can you give good ip address that match with this 2DNS server to get Good speed . Plz Do rply i am using home combo plan 500C and My TCP/IP setting is
IP address 192.168.1.2
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.1.1
And modem setting is in Bridge Mode plz do rply

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 and sometimes they fail to respond. I noticed that I am starting to 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 reponse. Here is a simple solution to significantly speed up your DNS resolution.

Open up the network connection profile and edit TCP/IP settings. In the DNS server address fields, specify the following DNS server addresses: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Disconnect the connection and then connect again. You are done.

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

1.where exactly do I find the network connection profile?
2.Are there any side effects of it?
3.AT speedtest.net my download speed is showing around 140kbps,im on 759ul+ , how can i increase to the promised 256kbps?

Does this work with VISTA ? Which setting is this IPV4 or 6 ?

If you are talking about the dns setting then yes they would work with every operating system as the internet works the same way regardless what OS you are using.

What is IPV4 and 6? please elaborate.

I am currently using 1350 UL plan..the speed of it sucks....it downloads at a speed of 5-10 Kbps....:38:

ipv4

Currently internet is using ipv4 protocols... ipv6 is new set of next generation protocol which Microsoft has implemented in Vista & probably win 7 too... keeping future un mind...
