if you can stick with an RJ-45 style conection, better speed and it ensures reliability if you change modems, that and the nic card you put in can be used for LAN PARTIES YAH :p

usb modems slow the computer down by around 10% as it is always using the usb port plus usb has a limit speed of somewhere around 10mb so if yours is a high speed connection then it will be capped at 10mb
