Globe Wireless ZTE Broadband Modem - Changing DNS

It's not worth it paying Php995/month on 512kbps ZTE wireless modem that always timeout when you needed it the most. The sad thing is I don't have much of a choice, there is no smart in our place, no WiMax, no pldt internet. It's so sad right? For a person like me who have a Degree in computer science, loves surfing, downloading stuff like anime, music, online project collaboration, part time work (outsourcing), etc. Having this kind of connection is frustrating. It's gone from worst to even worst.

I've already reported this issue to their office buy as of now, no reply, no technician.

Well for you guys, who want to try something about your connection, these are the things that you can try.

1.) Change DNS Setting (Auto is slow since it's Globe and it's overpopulated)
Steps:
a.) open your favorite browser (IE, Firefox, etc)
b.) Type in the url: http://192.168.0.1/, something like the attached image will display. Based on what I've observed the higher Ec/Io means connection.
c.) Click APN Settings
d.) In the DNS Tab, select Manual DNS. You can enter different combinations here, it depends on your place. I'll enumerate some:
OpenDNS (fast but restrictive on some sites)
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Cisco (this one is ok for me)
64.102.255.44
128.107.241.185
DNS advantage - worst here
156.154.70.1
156.154.71.1
Globe's
202.52.163.6/202.52.163.7
202.126.40.5/202.95.226.66
202.52.162.39/202.52.162.40
208.52.162.39/202.52.163.7

Play on the values, you might hit a good combination :-D.

I'll be posting next how to edit LAN configuration (optimal in some ways).
