So... As most of you would know that I have two connections at my place right now BSNL and Reliance. Currently I have to change the ethernet cable when Reliance goes down to switch to BSNL. Wanted to know that if there is a switch like device that I can use to make it slightly more convenient. Must be sounding stupid. I am not aiming to merge the two connections. I still want to run one of them at one time. Just need a flip button thing thing that lets me switch without changing the wire at the back of the PC. :

Yes, I am kind of lazy that way.
 
I mean USB is not supposed to be the fastest port unless you are talking about USB3 :)

So BSNL is connected through ethernet. Local ISP is connected through USB. Both connections are active at the same time. And you get combined bandwidth from both the connections?

nope not combined bandwidth..I cant merge two connection at once...to activate BSNL connection I have to disable Ethernet 2 (usb ethernet) via Network connection and vice versa for other..
