Harsahil Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 hi. welcome to the forums.. i am on the same plan as u mentioned and i ve been using PSN on it for some time now. there isn't much lag on it esp if u play on UK servers. there is some what more lag on US servers. anyways i have been facing a weird issue lately. i keep on getting signed out of Playstation Network and sometimes i m not able to log in doe to some lame DNS error. i dont know if this error has sth to do with my PS3 or my ISP. so do confirm if other ppl also have this problem before u get this connection. for net surfing and downloading anything, this plan is awesome.. hope this helps.

BSNL's DNS has issues, manually set DNS on your PS3 to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 I'm using the 256k UL plan without issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a5hr1th Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 That DNS would only be assigned to the PS3, so no matter what, surfing on the PC won't be affected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it will not effect your PC. But in fact you can try changing it on your PC too because I presume you also get page not found errors sometimes.

a5hr1th Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I suggest not to change the DNS, I'm happy with the default DNS, BSNL connects to. @vbhoj, you have too much lag bro. Yesterday, I sprayed all the bullets that I had on you and still, it took you around 8-9 seconds to die The OpenDNS servers are slow IMO, only good for surfing through the internet. They're not meant for gaming This constant disconnection thing used to happen to me long back I used to restart the router and it all got fine. You too try that and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastAvenger Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Dude! Airtel has the best DNS servers when compared to other ISP's in India yet i had issues when the PS3 refused to connect to PSN. Stick with OpenDNS, been using it for more than two years and its been working fine. BSNL's DNS is conky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a5hr1th Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I don't think you use your PS3 for MP too much. There's lag with the OpenDNS servers, trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freshlikemanniebeat Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 sooo everyone saying bsnl dns isnt very good? and will lagg quite a bit while on psn ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somebody Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 bsnl is not that bad. I'm on a 256ul plan and it works fine but lags sometimes ( only sometimes ) Since u're getting a 512ul plan u shud be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a5hr1th Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 As far as the lag goes, its there only with US servers. Most of our games are either hosted on EU or SG server, so you should have no problem, as Praveen said, as you're going in for the 512 kbps plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not meant for gaming This constant disconnection thing used to happen to me long back I used to restart the router and it all got fine. You too try that and see Bro, I was lagging because I wanted you guys to kill me less. Besides, DNS has nothing to do with lag, it only resolves domain names to IP addresses. Thus a bad DNS name will result in not getting connected and server not found issues. On the other hand, lag is an issue of bandwidth. If you would recall, when you watch CNBCtv18 through moneycontrol.com sometimes the picture quality is good and at other its very soft for you to really read the ticker line. This is a perfect example of insuffecient bandwidth. Since broadband does not work on committed rate, the bandwidth generally varies. As per my understanding goes, 256k UL is good to play games, its only when you play KZ2 and you are the host then I think you also send sync data to other parties. Since the upload speed is half of download, its generally 120k for a 256k connection, thus maybe I was not able to sync other clients properly because of the upload speed crunch. I think if someone who has a higher bandwidth joins the game 1st, then it should solve the KZ2 lag issue. (note this is all based hypothetical assumption of the host being used to sync other clients which may be incorrect too). I've generally based this assumption of more ppl complaining about the lag if a lower bandwidth player joins the game first. Coming back to the DNS issue, I'm using openDNS since maybe few years, dont really recall and never had any issues. It also protects you from visiting sites that can harm your PC by warning you 1st on your browser before loading the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
