MTNL DNS servers work well most of the times but then intermittently create problems! In search for more reliable DNS Servers i found some and for everyones convenience posting a small list here. Feel free to use and spread the DNS addresses around. I’m personally using Verizon DNS servers on my MTNL modem these days.
