Question about ADSL modems - GoFuckYourself.com

I'm filling in for broadband. But I'm given the option of getting a free USB-ADSL modem.

Am I correct this is one of those crappy modems that has to use my USB port?

Yes u would be correct in the crappy aspect as usb speed is substantially slower than ethernet/lan 10/100. An ADSL Router with Lan ports are very fast.

USB for DSL?? Doesn't sound right. Should be connecting DSL with a Cat 5 cable using your ETHERNET/LAN connector.

USB for ADSL works fine in my experience. a USB card can transfer data faster than your DSL connection ever will, so it's not as if having an ethernet modem will make things any faster at all

Speedstream modems used by Sympatico in Canada have the option of both - there is a standard network connection, and there is also a USB / network connection.

Never us USB for network unless it is your only choice.
