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
