BSNL banned by Youtube !!!!

tkin · 29-08-2008, 11:56 AM

We, Indian BSNL Broadband users having ip Range 59.x.x.x have been BANNED by Youtube India http://in.youtube.com

These users(ip 59.x.x.x) can access youtube through http://uk.youtube.com
or through proxies like http://www.guardster.com/subscription/proxy_free.php
We should start an online petiition or something to lift the ban.
GUYS PLEASE HELP ME OUT

Should we start sending mails?
I'm desperate.This is not the first time different sites have banned this ip range.Its time BSNL gave us new ip range(117.x.x.x to all).

Are you sure:-
1.Do you use BSNL bradband?
2.Is your IP range 59.93.x.x ?
3.Are you accessing http://in.youtube.com

1.Yes
2.My ip range is 59.92.xxx.x

Rahim · 29-08-2008, 12:42 PM

Maybe it is a DNS problem. I use openDNS

Do you even read the posts properly??
I said IP range 59.93.x.x
Don't take it personally.

Rahim · 29-08-2008, 12:45 PM

I have this ip 59.93.x.x and its all fine. So that possibilty is also quashed

I am sure it is a DNS problem.
Use openDNS

@rahimveron
Glad to hear it

Now my last query-
How is OpenDNS with BSNL and how do I enable it?

Rahim · 29-08-2008, 12:52 PM

opps...my bad

I am using Open DNS since one month coz i was fed up with slow or no loading of sites..
Really BSNL must do something regarding DNS

tkin · 29-08-2008, 08:32 PM

Any luck???
Confirmed-DOESN'T WORK WITH OPENDNS.

Convinced.Sorry, my bad.

Just incase 1.Which is your ISP(is it BSNL?)?
(If not then it's BSNL that's causing it.)
2.What's your DNS server?
Should I visit the Orkut broadband community?

cool_techie_tvm · 29-08-2008, 11:08 PM

Its BSNL.

Am on singtel DNS (165.21.83.88 and 165.21.100.88 )

And i am connected through 59.93.0.1 access-concentrator

So its my local BSNL provider(Kolkata) thats causing it.If not fixed by next week I'll call them up and really gonna give them something to remember.

This is really bugging me.

Could you confirm whether this page is accessible- www.filehippo.com ?

cool_techie_tvm · 29-08-2008, 11:19 PM

http://www.filehippo.com/ not resolving for me

RandomNumber · 29-08-2008, 11:31 PM

I have a class A ip address from bsnl and had been experiencing the same problem.

The problem is with the bsnl dns servers, I resolved the hostnames with bsnl dns servers and open dns and got different results.

Switching to open dns should resolve the problem.

They are:-

Primary-61.1.96.69

Secondary-61.1.96.71

RandomNumber · 29-08-2008, 11:50 PM

I can access your second dns server, and got the same results as with my bsnl servers

G:\>nslookup www.youtube.com
*** Can't find server name for address 61.1.96.69: Query refused

switch to opendns and type nslookup www.youtube.com in cmd
You should get different results and be able to access it

tkin · 30-08-2008, 12:04 AM

I just looked up uk.yahoo.com, www.youtube.com and in.youtube.com.
Seems the DNS servers fail for the last one and in case of the 2nd one the site(www.youtube.com) redirects me to in.youtube.com and so it fails.

Can access youtube only through the first one(uk.youtube.com) and setting the site preference to worldwide(www.youtube.com) from there so it doesnot redirect me

.Still can't access my account as its in in.youtube.com.

BANGING MY HEAD AGAINST WALL.

Thanks for the help-RandomNumber.

What do you think? Should I call BSNL-Kolkata and ask them?
