    Hi i am using eircom netopia broadband, i am using usb to my computer because i dont have a ethernet input.
    My usb is usb 1,
    1) if i got usb 2 would my download's be faster?

    Neither would increase your download speeds.

    Simple answer :)

    USB 1.1 Fullspeed runs at 12 mbps, so unless you have a very old machine (most machines have had ethernet as a standard feature for years) AND poor drivers it's still likely to be fast enough for any ADSL connection.

    Download speeds also depend on contention and the sites speed too.
