How to Increase Download Speed of BSNL Broadband?
Generally windows reserves 20% of the bandwidth provided by the Internet service providers. So if we can reduce the limit to 0, then we can use the complete bandwidth allocated for us.

1. Go to Start -> Run
2. Type "gpedit.msc" to open the group policy editor.
3. Navigate to "Local Computer Policy" -> "Computer Configuration" -> "Administrative Templates" -> "Network" -> "QOS Packet Scheduler" -> "Limit Reservable Bandwidth."
4. Now, double-click on the option named "Limit Reservable Bandwidth" and change the value from 20 to 0.

The third-party DNS servers are always better than the default BSNL DNS servers. So changing these can help you increase the download speed of the BSNL broadband.

1. Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center/Network Connections -> Open "Local Area Connection" and click on "Properties" button.
2. Now click on "TCP/IP" and in the DNS address fields, replace the current DNS servers with the below two addresses.

208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220

3. Click "OK" and restart the Internet connection.

That's it! The above tips worked excellently for me to increase my BSNL broadband speed.
Note: Windows 7 Home Edition (64 bit) doesn't have gpedit.msc option. Hence, skip the first step and go with the second option if you're win 7 home user.
