Its a speed reduction allright but its of no consequence coz ur net speed is 256 Kbps even if it was 2 Mbps then also 10 Mbps was more than enuff..basically its showing the speed at which ur modem can exchange data with ur computer thru the USB port..must be a USB 1.0 port which is why it shows 10 MbpsDifference between Ethernet (ie LAN) and USB is that LAN is more stable and is meant for networking..USB meant for short data transfers..

USB or LAN connection to the modem should not affect your connection speed since they can support data transfers at much higher speeds. The connection speed displayed (10 or 100Mbps) is the theoretical maximum connection speed between your PC and the modem, not the actual bandwidth to the internet. That speed is decided by the link between the modem and the ISP initially and then it is also based on how much international bandwidth the ISP can allocate to you.The current maximum speeds scenario (for non UL users) is something (a bit simplified) like😛C ADSL Modem BSNL Gateway ServerEDIT: So you can see that the bandwidth you are getting at any moment is the minimum speed along the line from your PC to the server. If the load is light you might get the full 2Mbps but most times it will be lower than that.

Thank you, cyberwiz and kreacher--that's real techie funda! If it doesn't really matter whether the taskbar icon of broadband shows 10 or 100 Mbps, but the speed remains more or less 256 kbps, it's ok. It was great insight to know that regardless of theory, in practice band speed (or whatever!) may fluctuate, depending on the 'bandobast' between my modem and the ISP, and how much international b'width the ISP gives me! It almost sounds like Bollywood, I say, all this 'bandobast' and 'allocation'! But jokes apart, your comments were very enlightening and I wish to express my gratitutde to you all.

My friend who was previosly on BSNL UL900 with 256kbps speeds has his speeds upgraded to 2mbps recently. Some speeds like his are being reported by many forum members with same plan. He doesnot leave far from me so i have decided to ditch my airtel with new BSNL UL900.

its ur funeral.. the speeds are not gonna get upgraded dude.. think abt it.. what sense would it make to choose the other plans (home 1000, 3000.. etc//)
