I read a few articles which stated that my isp(BSNL) has weak dns servers and using a different faster dns like opendns or google will increase the speed.
I use a wifi connection through the router.
Now i want to assign the google dns to my connection as google is giving me the least ping time.
how do i do this in Ubuntu Linux?
A step by step guide if possible please!
I am geting just 30KB/s right now :(
Yes i get 30kbps...but my plan is for 256kbps actually...after 4gb...so how much do you think should be the download speed with 256kbps being my bandwidth limit? – Nirmik – 2012-11-15T19:56:00.513
if you are downloading from a fast server like MS, oracle, cannonical, etc, then it should use all available bandwidth. do you mean KBps or Kbps (kilobyte or kilobit)? 256Kbps = 256/8KBps = 32KBps. – Frank Thomas – 2012-11-15T20:28:41.293
yeah its kbps....here is the detailed plan info ... http://i.stack.imgur.com/iGoht.png

okay! thanx! unfortunately its not cheap! internet in my country is not cheap! :( atleast not until m earning myself ;) its around 13-15$/month – Nirmik – 2012-11-15T20:46:54.403
