Fastest DSL Connection Type?
I have Verizon DSL with their supplied DSL Modem. The computer can be
connected to the moden via an Ethernet cable, USB or Wireless. It use to be in past years Ethernet was the fastest internet connection. Is that still true when compared to USB, and now USB 2 and Wireless? |

I may be wrong here but it seems to me that your speed is dependent on how far you are from the Central office and the speed you are paying for. The ethernet cable and the rest are functions of the distance. If you are wanting to increase your speed you have to look at other providers. My daughter-in-law says DSL is the stone ages and the fastest is conncting via a cable connection. I'm still using DSL but am contemplating switching over to cable. USB and Wi fii have luittle to do with the connection speed. Regards, |

DSL comes from a central office as stated above. Its limit is about 4 miles out from that central office, unless they have whats called an remote terminal, which is a extender of service in simpler terms. So the closer you are to those outputs, the greater the speed. As far as getting the best connection in your home, sometimes WiFi is faster than hardwiring it, it really depends on the set-up. With my set-up I transfer files faster than copper with a bottom of the line router. So really it all depends, but definitely stay away from a usb connection. If your going to use a wired connection, use the ethernet for sure. I hope this helps. If you have any further questions PM me, I'm actually a DSL tech -- CrucialHoax |

In theory, the fastest connection will be Ethernet. But in reality, maximum
DSL speeds are so low that any of the connection types you've named have plenty of bandwidth to carry the load for you. "Artreid" wrote in message ...

The highest ethernet speed is faster than usb2 or the fastest wireless. |
