Thread: Which one in FASTES DNS for BSNL Broadband ?

Which one is FASTEST DNS for BSNL broadband?

faster DNS servers will only make opening of certain sites at certain times faster.it will not change your download speed.open DNS servers(208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220) are considered better than bsnl's own dns servers.

I tried, with this DNS servers, it seems it is faster.

Problem with the BSNL DNS are that they cant resolve many domain ,we can use open DNS servers but it affects the speed ,any other solution other than open DNS

Open DNS servers being outside the BSNL network have higher latency (ping time is more). The BSNL DNS servers will be faster to reach.

But when the load is high, the BSNL DNS servers will be slower to respond. Hence URL resolution will be slower. Open DNS have a battery of servers across the globe and will be able to resolve quicker.

I often switch between OpenDNS and BSNL DNS from time to time.

OpenDNS or BSNL DNS sometimes affect the net speed also.

I am right now on OpenDNS. And I am getting decent download speed. But upload is not good.



Sometime (days) back, I was bad speeds on OpenDNS (829 kbps/218 kbps) and I changed to BSNL DNS. I got immediate speed benefit (1.7 mbps/284 kbps).

Try the Comodo DNS and check.

so Just4Kix eveytime accourding to ur need u keep on changing ur DNS , for this u use some s/w or its the manual work

It can be done manually. Just one minute business.

Control panel > Network connections > Local area connection > properties >
TCP/IP > properties.

No. I set the DNS in the router.

I do not change this very often. Maybe, once in a month and that too, if I observe that the speeds are slow.

Please let me know the DNS servers for BSNL, I live in Mysore, Karnataka, should I ask the exchange here ? I am using open DNS servers without any problems. Thanks.

Primary 218.248.240.208
Secondary 218.248.240.24

Use google, it helps a lot.

Thanks for the fast reply. I was googling, but got so many different numbers like 218.248.240.23, 69.65.59.222, I guess they all are correct.

^ those are old numbers.

I think they work too. I used one starting from 69.xx.xx.xx last week.

If you are using BSNL DNS, it is best to leave it automatic. You will get the nearest DNS that way.

yes you are right!
i never change my DNS except testing other DNS.
open DNS & comodo DNS gives same performance so i dont use them.

well that is true.. BSNL dns is pretty fast.. but i find it slow at times.. as in ,when it works it works cool , but in between browsing certain websites take a hell lot of a time to load.. and also opendns is a lot more safer.. do read about "doxpara" , its scary
