USB or Ethernet for cable modem connection

[plateman]

when I first got cable my first bought pc didnt have a Ethernet card and the cable guy had a coupler to hook it up usb and it needed drivers for that setup, In IMO the speed was just as fast..

I did later get a card, and then built my first pc and then got a wired router as wireless was really expensive then, then 5 months ago I got a good deal on a new toshiba laptop and there was such a good sale on linksys wireless routers that I got one and love it... going wireless the speed is a little slower but my main 2 pc's and my wifes is hard wired.. plus you cant beat going anywhere in your house or close by outside and be on the net...
