MTNL Broadband DNS Servers

[crashnburn_in]

I am getting 900 / 1000 ms pings from the DNS servers. What do I do? Which ones should I try to use?

Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) have proven to be very reliable in last 1 week of use. Ping times from Delhi (Airtel DSL) are 100ms approx.

Google Public DNS

:hysterical::notallowed::hysterical: lol. I use OpenDNS but there maybe others who might be loyal users still & they will face problems once those servers are shut down.

if it is indeed true, it would suck for customers who have no idea what DNS servers are and their modems and routers were configured with this IP by the folks who installed broadband connections at their place.
