Last week, it gave a speed of 60-70 KBps pn Rapidshare...
But now it is giving a speed of 10-15 KBps on rapidshare and web pages are also taking a lot of time to load...
It looks like i m using airtel Gprs..
Wat can be the problem??

See..if ADSL ligh keep blinking..it means data is being transfer.So..it may be possible some program is using bandwidth in background.USe any good firewall to block unwanted program to access internet.

I hav to disconnect and reconnect again and again...
Are U surfing net through USB cable.Such problem is common in usb connection.Prefer ethernet connection.

no i m using ethernet card...

The adsl indicator some times blinks at in that positions the net slows done and sometimes stops...
But when the indicator is not blinking, browsing speeds increase...
