I have a BSNL 512kbps unlimited connection. SInce past few weeks, I have been facing a weird problem with google and it's related sites like Orkut etc.

1. It takes ages for me to login
2. Once I login I get stuck somewhere while retriving a mail or something.
3. Same thing with orkut.

The speed just gets too pathetic.
If I open a yahoo page and search in their website, everything is fine.But of course I dont get results as good as google gives my.I am really confused as to what the problem is since If I download something thorugh torrent the speed is good as expected(around 60 kbps download speed).

I run on Firefox 3 and I have a windows XP. Matter of fact, I reinstalled Windows XP(for a different reason) and I still have the problem.

The problem has started with some other websites too but it is prominently seen in google.(google.com or google.co.in).Doesn't work even if I clear the browser cashe and refresh the page.Very weird.
 
sometimes bsnl DNS does not resolve google group sites well.

switch to either OPEN DNS / FREE DNS and you will be fine.
 
^been using openDNS for sometime...no issues at all..bsnl DNS servers can be unreliable at times..
 
Is it so?I've been using BSNL since more than 3 years I never ran into this knd of an issue.Thats why it surprises me.
