    Hi,

    My DSL modem connect to my computer by ehthernet or usb. When I use usb it seems a little faster like when I am surfing the web, but I see no other changes like in download speed and that stuff. Is it possible for usb to be faster, or is it just I am imagianing this?

    p.s. dunno if imaginary spelt right lol

    you're most likely imagining it. The speed that you get depends on your ISP, and if your ISP is 1.5mbit then it won't matter if you use ethernet or USB you'll still only be getting 1.5mbit max.

    The communication is faster on usb, meaning your modem will communicate with your computer faster, But that doen't mean that download speed will increase. Bandwidth is usually at a set rate.
