I had 750UL plus home unlimited plan and I shifted to VAS home combo ULF 1499 unlimited plan from feb 1st.

I was told that the new plan would require a 'line change' which was completed in 2 days. After this process, my username changed, which those dumb people took 4 days to figure out and tell me when my net stopped working!

But now the problem is... few selected sites dont open while others have no problem.

Sites that dont open :-

trainenquiry.com
indianrail.gov.in
firefox website


These sites open at my friend's place on dataone connection with a different plan!

No, its not a firewall/virus/spyware problem.

These sites do open with proxy(anonymous) browsing though!

Any views?

Thank you.

Configure your computer or modem to use the OpenDNS servers.

Preferred DNS Server: 208.67.222.222

Alternate DNS Server: 208.67.220.220

Use...

4.2.2.2 as Preferred DNS and 4.2.2.1 as alternative one.

way more better than DNS servers that Indian ISPs are maintaining.
