How to ByPass Website Blocked by ISP

Disclaimer: I am not against the Gov. policy to block websites;
 But they should verify before blocking anything. Very recently BSNL blocked Fatcow and all its hosted sites. I have my blog and few other sites (including DreamStarts.in, MindCron.com and bloggersqa.com) hosted on FatCow.  FatCow is the most reliable hosting with very good customer support.
Similarly other ISPs like RCom, Airtel have also blocked content/video/music sharing websites.

Here is a trick to open blocked websites:

Simply point your ISP DNS to google DNS ie. 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4

I request to all my users who are using BSNL broadband and not able to access these websites, please use this trick to bypass it. I have already filed a complaint to BSNL. If BSNL doesn't unblock my sites in 2 days I will move these websites to other hosting. Ya, it costs me a lot but I will have to do that.

We deserve internet surfing freedom.
