Do you have motherboard diagram? If yes, see if the front bus is 2.0 compliant.
If not, Open Device Manager, under USB Controllers you should see one of the entries say Enhanced Host Controller if you have USB 2.0.

Since you are having Dual core ( not very old ) system, mostly all your ports will be 2.0.
The front ports are connected to the Motherboard through wires which may sometimes pick up noises. The rear ports are directly soldered on the Motherboard itself.
For data cards always advisable to use rear port, to avoid the doubt but with a Ferrite filtered USB cable. It enables the data card, to place at a convenient place and more importantly orientation may be adjusted towards tower, to get better signal strength. These are not possible, if you connect the card directly to the port.
So the question of against the wall solved.

by the way another query was that i am currently on Dataone 750 UL ... and i had paid advance rental.. so its upto june.... so any process by which i can combine the speeds of the Datacard and the Dataone connection without using any Hub/Router...?? is it possible by any S/W may be....

UMG1831 is bit bulkier... so is K4505... I don't know if somebody would've tested top speeds 21 Mbps in India..buy from a place where you have replacement guarantee. I got a faulty piece and got it replaced...

Don't buy extension cables (whitish, translucent) that are made in China. It'll not work. I wasted money buying it. Go for a branded one.

You can use the two connections together (by a load-balancing software) but cannot combine it. That means if you get 2Mbps in dataone and 3Mbps in 3G, you cannot make it a single 5Mbps connection, as both will have different IP address and different routing.

I am using this kind of cable for the past 11 months for EVDO and 3G data cards, without any problem.
Here in Chennai it costs 70 ~ 90.

I had bought the same cable. Bought 3 cables, none worked on any of my 3G cards. Though Windows detected something, it said "Device Unrecognized". The same for my pen drives. Later, I removed the filter, connected the internal wires properly and somehow made it to work.
