Hello,

I'm getting the SWBell dls package and I need to choose either an ethernet or usb dsl modem. I'm thinking ethernet is the way to go. I'll be adding a dsl router later if that makes any difference.

Can some of you who are more knowledgeable in this area help me out with this decision?

Thanx

Don't get USB. It's probably an external USB ethernet adapter. USB sucks anyways.

Don't get the USB. I have heard many people have problems with these anyways.
Besides I believe that the performance is better with the Ethernet.

Thanx,

That's pretty much what I thought.

USB: useless serial bus...

I just busted my ass this pass month finding a modem that would work with my service. The freaking service providers only offered an internal PCI dsl modem, or external USB dsl modem. USB isn't soo bad, but an external USB modem will limit you in the future in terms of networking your computers together...
