i design boxes .......
is there any speed difference, or otherwise between using the ethernet cable or the usb cable, from the modem to the computer???
thanks moe! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gifno, both will exceed your cables max speed.
Not to flame, but i work for Charter tech support. Ethernet blows usb away //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif, enet maxes 100mbs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/scared.gif.f134e57c6c93ccd0f15aa5ac32c7d4a0.gif , usb usually maxes around 12mbs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsdown.gif.d22f25895e9b40f2300c953691dacfa2.gifno, both will exceed your cables max speed.
And that exceeds the downstream of a cable connection which is usually 3Mbps, or "ideally" 10Mbps although it's capped below that.usb usually maxes around 12mbs
ditto to thatnot to mention USB take alot more of your computers resources than a ethernet....
Again...both work fine, pick your favorite looking one. You will not notice a difference between the two, I promise...unless of course you're still running 128Mb of RAM which nobody in their right mind should be.

Doesn't matter which connection you use unless you've got a gigabit connection in which case you need a 1000base-t ethernet card and upgraded cable such as cat7 (this will never happen with cable...more along the lines of T3 and higher).
Exactly...it's all in your head if you're getting different results with usb, unless your computer is, well, aweful.Most cable companies put a cap on, I dont know of hardly anyone who has higher than a 10 MBit downstream, which is still slower than USB...
Nope, I meant cat7...I'd use cat6 as well, but never cat5e. I don't like the idea of running an extremely high speed network on inferior cable, to each his own though....you can't run it on regular cat5, we agree on that point.
