Dear Friends ,

Im from beneras .

From June 1 onwards , im experiencing internet connection problems . I have connections in my home and office . Both connections have problems . When enquired my friends throughout TN , most of them are saying that they are having the same problem .

The problem is , Net is connecting but it takes more than 5 minutes for 1 page to load . And also the LINK light goes off frequently and hence disconnection is frequent . Most of my friends throughout TN are experinencing those problems .

I contacted BSNL office . They are saying silly reasons that my phone pin is not properly inserted and so on . When i said them that most of my friends are having the problems , they are saying that there are no problems from BSNL side .

I cant believe them . Surely , there is some big problem in BSNL side .

How many of you are experiencing such problems in TN for the past 3 days ?

I'm from Chennai, TN. Connection is quite stable here, no faults like you said... I dont know about others here, but ask a lineman to check your line. And what link is it? ADSL or LAN?

I am in Thane(Mumbai) using Exatt Broadband. Last week, even I had expericed a short downtime of 2 hrs. They said some link from VSNL server is down(?). Even now I am facing some issue but it is local connectivity issue, not a large scale issue!

I am sure you mean "Facing internet connection problems" .. I guess they could be accounted to monsoon ? Water seeping in to underground cables or poor wiring will cause a lot of such problems.

Yes. I too experience similar problems with BSNL BB. Guess some problem with their DNS. I am managing by using OpenDNS IPs. Try these IPs for your connection:
1: 208.67.220.220
2. 208.67.222.222
