How To Speed Up your
BroadBand Speed I just
found this article which
discusses important tips to
significantly speed up your
internet access through
BSNL Dataone broadband
connection / most other
BroadBand 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
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. Note: The service is
provided by OpenDNS.
Saving your Bandwidth
Firefox users can use
FlashBlock extension to
prevent downloading of
Flash content by default,
thereby significantly
speeding up browsing
experience. You can click on
the placeholder icon to
display the original Flash
content any time. This is
more of a passive tip in that
reduces data usage to
improve your overall
experience. Setting TCP
Parameters You can try to
increase your broadband
bandwidth tweaking the
TCP/IP parameters. The
process is simplified by
using TCPOptimizer, a free
tool. It helped me a lot but
your mileage may vary
