Hi,
The following are my details:
Modem: UT300R2U
ISP: BSNL (NIB)
Plan: Home 3300
OS: Vista SP2
Browser: Firefox 3.5.2, IE 8
DNS: OpenDNS
Also installed: Network Meter Vista Gadget
For the last few weeks, I'm facing browsing problems for around 20 minutes atleast once every day. The connection will suddenly become sluggish and I am unable to browse or open 98% of the websites of my choice (these include GMail, Yahoo etc.) A few websites begin to load but the progress will stall and the content remains undisplayed.
During this time, I am assigned an dynamic IP address as usual and the DSL indicator light (on the modem) remains fixedly lit.
During this time, I am able to talk via Skype (with some or a lot of disturbance) and I'm able to send/receive email via Windows Mail.
The problem is primarily with browsing - pages just won't load/open. The following are three sample tracert screens:

The funny thing is today when this happened, I was able to browse easily using a Mexican proxy IP address.
I talked to a bunch of people from BSNL over the phone and some said there might be a problem with my system. I checked the connection with a laptop I seldom use and faced the same problem there as well.
The JE who visited my house said this is most probably a routing issue at BSNL's end. He saw that I could browse using the Mexican proxy.
Now, these occurrences last from a few minutes to 4 hours!!! (today). Some days there is no problem but on other days I have found this to happen at no particular given time - sometimes for 20 minutes starting from 10 AM, sometimes for 15 minutes starting from I PM etc. Quite random in occurrence and duration.
I would really like to know what's going on and if anyone else has faced similar problems. Help? I'd really appreciate some advice/feedback.
Thanks, guys!
