Actually my lan card blew up twice. The hardware vendor blames it on my sify broadband connection. Since MTNL has a USB option, I wanted to see if it works through it to avoid buying another card ;-)
``blew up" ? i've only seen that happen due to SMPS/SMPS related problems and once(interestingly to a Sify user) because the CAT 5 coming into his LAN card was ``routed" via his building's lightning rod. The most extensive damaged was of course to his LAN card, his board was too a little parched, but was fully repaired thanks to a genius at Lamington Road. This was in Chembur. i wonder if the same joker did the wiring for you...

100 Mbps works for short distances only, not for cable internet.

Huh? The Ethernet protocol standard says that 100 Mbit ethernet and GigE should work upto 100m. If they don't, ask for a refund. This has nothing to do with "cable" Internet (which by definition needs a coax cable and cable modem, not a switch/hub).
If you mean that the local cable operator is trying to be cheap and setting up an unmanaged hub instead of running a proper LAN which is limiting the OP to 10 Mbit/sec half duplex, that would be correct. Getting rid of the hub would solve that problem.
