Solution to Slow or No Connection with BSNL Broadband
Do you have a problem with BSNL broadband lately with very low connection speed and some websites not loading. Instead of continiously refreshing your browser for making sure the website loads try out this 2 minutes trick and see how all your websites start loading.
Click on your Network Connections icon 
and then Click on ‘Properties’ under the ‘Local Area Connection Status’.
Next Select ‘Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)’ and click on ‘Properties’
Finally change your DNS Settings to these : 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 which are a part of Open DNS which generally always work whenever BSNL DNS is giving problems.
Click on ‘ok’ and save and close all the properties windows and restart your modem/wireless router for a better internet speed and experiance. This OpenDNS trick generally works with most ISP, try out once.
Thank god i dont have bsnl\
LOL, i am sorry.. no offence bsnl users but i have really heard a lot of times that bsnl is not a good service provider.. i am safe, i use airtel..
dont think i am trying to promote airtel but seriously.. i think airtel broadband is better than bsnl

I use Reliance broadband, and the same problem is bugging me… I cannot visit most websites, coz they just don’t resolve. But I can still download via torrents at very high speeds. And I suspect DNS is the problem.
Thanks for this tip. I’d love to try it out…

@vivekanand bissa,
Dear Vivekanand
BSNL promises 256kbps and delivers 256kbps. It will translate into 28KBPS for you. because, 256kbps = 25.6KBPS

Yes good information Amitji
I have Bsnl Broadband 2MBPS line but the download speed is only
70kb-180kb only why is this

heello vivekananda bissa,256 kbps means=256/8=32KBps
“b”=bit ,8 bits=1byte.u have to convert 256kb to KB,then it results 32 KBps.

Hi Amit,
Great Job. I had this issue and tried all possible help but all resulted in vain. Your trick worked very well and my BSNL Broadband UL 750+ is speeding like anything. But, the issue was continuing in mobile, which I use to access internet using WiFi. So I just went ahead and applied the same DNS setting in my WiFi router itself. Now all of us (myself, Laptop and my mobile) are happy. I had actually planned to go to BSNL office and thought of closing this connection.
Thanks a lot, thank you very much Amit.
