Quoting Mohan Nayaka mohansn@gmail.com: Of late, I have noticed that MTNL's DNS servers 203.94.227.70 and 203.94.243.70 are unresponsive from time to time. Also google and google related sites (gmail,orkut,etc.) open very sluggishly.
Yes its been so from about 2 weeks. Any site stops responding randomly. Sometimes Yahoo or sometimes Google or sometimes MSN stops. Traceroute shows problems in routing. If you disconnect and reconnect 1-2 times, it picks up new route and site starts working.
I wrote to MTNL but they replied back asking me to contact 1504. And 1504 person doesnt understand anything. Wonder why do they have to provide email address when their reply is to contact 1504.
Not related to this problem but for DNS try www.opendns.com
