100.0 mbps and 256 kbps?? is that what you mean?
cause if it is, then 100.0mbps is also equivalent to 100000kbps
so compared to each other..
100000KBPS --- 256KBPS
that is a huge difference in speed!!
mbps is Megabytes Per Second
and
kbps is Kilobytes Per Second

the exact differ is this :D
100 * M - 256* K= answer
Now really,
100 MBps is usually the speed of LAN , (Local Area Network)
Which is equally 12.5 MegaByte/S
256 KBps is exactly 32 KiloByte per second
much slower
it's Dial Up like speed

Well, Mbps is MegaBits Per Second. A Megabit is slightly less than a Kilobyte, I believe. But don't quote me on that.
I have no idea what K stands for. All I know is that 100mbps is PLENTY fast enough for the home computer - it's what I have.

100 Mbps sounds like the bandwidth of your ethernet card
256k sounds like the download speed of your internet connection
but to compare the numbers themselve
256k = 256,000 bps
100 Mbps = 100,000,000 bps

see for your self internet test speed
check your internet speed/download/upload speed to make sure your isp server is not ripping you off if they say your getting 3.5 mb download speed and 2.4 upload speed make sure you are from the net speed test website
