when is a gigabit ethernet adaptor not a gigabit ethernet adaptor

anyone find that USB ethernet adaptors are generally rubbish and/or bordering on false advertisement.
i have a "gigabit usb ethernet adaptor" made by Plugable. however as it only has a USB2 connection (as it states on the adaptor) then it absolute best it could ever achieve is 480Mbps.
when i run a speedtest using the connection it tops out at around 60MB/s which is pretty close to the 480Mbps limit of the USB connection.
how do they get away with this? Plugable tend to be one of the more "trusted" brands but not with branding it seems!

It works with a gigabit connection, so... Presumably a USB 3 jobbie is what you need.
