USB vs Ethernet ADSL Modem?

c0y0te · 2003-06-15 19:32:34

So - UTV have arrived (at last!) with an ADSL broadband offer, and I note that it is based on a Fujitsu USB ADSL Modem (FDX310).... Is there any particular difference between USB and/or Ethernet ADSL modems? Does it matter which one is selected? c0y0te

I've got both (two different ISPs/locations). The ethernet one is much faster and secure.

USB is a dumbdown.

Definitely ethernet. No drivers to worry about, huge benefit if you want to use it with a non Windows OS.
