Slow Browsing on 1mbps Connection Hello,
I have an Airtel 1mbps connection in Gurgoan and have the 450BXI ADLS2 Router. My download and torrent speeds are perfect however browsing has become very slow. Its sporadic in performance and at times even websites like Google and Facebook time out. I am on a Mac and I did read here about DNS however not sure how to fix it.

Re: Slow Browsing on 1mbps Connection Hi,
thanks for the reply. But how do I do that? Is there a turorial for mac anywhere?
Re: Slow Browsing on 1mbps Connection you can do that in your modem itself , go to http://192.168.1.1 , username/password is admin/admin. then look for the DNS tab and enter the DNS servers given..
Re: Slow Browsing on 1mbps Connection This might be related to this thread.
I've recently changed my dns servers to the opendns server. Made the change on the router, so that way all PC's acquiring a DHCP-assigned IP will use the same DNS.
Now, when I ping, say, Google, with the Airtel DNS servers, the response time is 14-15 ms for me (standard ping with no flags).
With the OpenDNSs, when I ping Google, the roundtrip time is about 150ms on an average. Yet pages load faster with the OpenDNSs.
I'm looking for an explanation as to why this happens. Anyone know? Or are they 2 un-related things?
Re: Slow Browsing on 1mbps Connection DNS will just resolve name to IP (i.e. google.com to abc.def.ghi.xyz). Then your browser will request that IP for the actual page. These are unrelated usually, you could try seeing which IP is being pinged with each DNS servers because with geo-location based DNS servers you might be getting a different IP after DNS resolution.

OpenDNS Blog SmartCache: the best reason yet to switch to OpenDNS
Re: Slow Browsing on 1mbps Connection i dont think smartcache has anything to do with the speed , cause thats ONLY for sites which go down..
i guess as mentioned by kreacher , its the ip which is given by DNS which makes the difference..
