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.
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.
