Connection issues through BSNL Broadband (DSL)

Hi

Over the past week or our BSNL broadband DSL has been acting very strange.

It "allows" only some sites to appear - most banking sites, most government
sites , gmail, google news (and any google related domain)

a few other sites seems to work - and am not able to establish an pattern

sites that don't work
bbc.co.uk
amazon.com
flipkart.com

Sites that work (surely)
irctc.co.in, indianrailways.gov.in
eci.nic.in (election commission)
Google.com
http://www.tn.gov.in/

while http://election.uk.gov.in/ seems to work the main domain
http://uk.gov.in does not seem to work (and the broadband is being used in
Uttarakhand)

non government sites that work ( that i checked)
thehoot.org
marmot.com
amazon.com (while flipkart does not)


Google search gets back results but trying to access any of the linked
results again results in a blank forever loading page, similarly while
news.google.co.in works clicking on any news link again results in a page
that never loads.

In the sites that don't work the browser shows activity and the site logo
pops up in the browser (usually an indication that the site is loaded.

I also tried to access sites that check broadband speeds and every single
site i tried to access (from google search results) did not load.

**
While using a usb mobile (plug and play device) all the sites work.

**
Some folks , who are also on a bsnk broadband connection in Chennai told me
that they were having similar issues and in some case the connection would
stop any work entirely after partially working for a bit.

So am wondering if this is a BSNL issue and if others are facing it as well
and would any one know if there are any know causes and also any know work
around.

thanks
Ram
