well im going to be switching my isp soon to another DSL company but they require u to have ur own DSL modem or u have to pay 10&#036; per month extra to rent it <_<

so im getting this deal...

Speadstream 4060 DSL USB MODEM for &#036;10 including shipping :rolleyes:

but the problem is that its a usb modem... and in the future if i plan to get another computer and router how am i suppose to hook the router up then? :blink: sinse its only USB :01:

so i should get the modem?

im switching to http://www.mycybernet.net/ ;)

&#036;35CDN for 3000/640

or i might switch to 3web(&#036;25 3000/800) but some ppl on dsl reports have been saying bad stuff about 3web and they seem to have a cap as well...

I wouldnt get a modem.

I have had a replacement modem 3 times in the last year or so. I only pay &#036;2.50 US a month for renting it, but its payed off.

Why do you need a convertor? Almost all modems have a usb port on them as well.

u see the modem is a USB modem and IF i plan to get a router which takes in ethernet only... how will i use it :frusty:

and i like to use my 1gig ethernet port rather than my usb 2.0 port :helpsmile: :01:

i just sold one of those modems to someone for &#036;40 B)

i got one free when i signed up for my dsl, but i didn&#39;t want a USB modem, and bought a netopia ethernet modem.
