I read a few articles which stated that my isp(BSNL) has weak DNS servers and using a different faster DNS like opendns or google will increase the speed.

I use a wifi connection through the router. Now i want to assign the google DNS to my connection as google is giving me the least ping time.

how do i do this?

A step by step guide if possible please!

I am geting just 30KB/s right now, I am using 12.10 if needed as info.

This Link will give you generic instructions that will always work system wide.

From inside Unity, click the wireless app indicator.
Go to the wireless tab
select your wireless connection
go to the IPV4 settings (assuming your using a pretty standard router)
change the drop down to Automatic DHCP addresse only
then in the DNS servers box put in DNS servers you want to use.

Save and exit, and you should be done.
