Hmm after disconecting my connection every 12 hours to see if I've become one of those users whos been getting "upgraded" to 512kbps and cursing a lot of people everytime it connects at 288kbps, I sacrificed my teddy bear and said a few chants.To get to the point I was reading of one the latest posts here and one chap mentioned that his modem was configured to connect at 320kbps and it was getting 35-40k dl speeds. That got me thinking. What if everyone had been bumped up somehow to the higher speeds but because a whole bunch of them were configured at 288kbps they were not able to get the higher speeds? Especially since I noticed some of the users getting the higer speeds were one who had just got new Airtel BB connections.So If anyone knows how to configure the connection speed of the modems maybe they could post a guide here?BTW I have a Lucent 20A-USB modem which I had bought in Dubai earlier when I used to stay there. Thing is I remember even though I had a 256kbps connection there when ever I connected it would show my connection as 8Mbps. I've been poking around it in Control Panel but can't figure out how to change the connection speed.PS. Posters try not to post in this thread about how they "wish they had 512kbps, cursing Airtel, dreaming about actual broadband" etc etc
