This trick is about how to increase the speed of GPRS while using GPRS through mobile to Computer. After doing the small changes in your DNS, you can get a better speed. GPRS speed or internet speed depends on DNS; if your DNS address gives query results fast, you will get internet speed fast. Hence, we provide you the best Open DNS server address (You can use Google DNS address) to increase GPRS speed. This Open DNS server address will work with all GPRS service providers, e.g., Airtel, Vodafone, Aircel, Idea, Uninor, Reliance, Tata Docomo, etc. Since most of the time, the network provider takes about 4 seconds for a query, or it gets timed up due to the server’s overload. So I started using the OpenDNS server – which is a free and powerful DNS service.
Use the following DNS server address :
Open DNS Server
Preferred DNS server: 208.67.222.222
Alternate DNS Server: 208.67.220.220
or,
Google DNS Server
Preferred DNS server: 8.8.8.8
Alternate DNS Server: 8.8.4.4
Guide to do settings in Windows XP PC:

5. Enter the following values there,
– 208.67.222.222
– 208.67.220.220
or,
– 8.8.8.8
– 8.8.4.4
And keep the setting of obtaining IP address as automatic.
6. Save and close the windows. If you are using an old version of Windows, you may need to reboot the system…
The above-said trick will work perfectly if you are connecting to the internet through Bluetooth also.
This process will 100% increase your internet speed.
Note: You can use this DNS trick for mobile also. It will solve the disconnection problem.
