Adsl: Ethernet, Pci, Usb 1.1?

[Amarjit]

I have those three options. I am willing to go for a PCI, but I urgent to know which is faster out of all three?

its shouldnt make much difference to the speed of your adsl.
are you talking about how the modem connects?
if so i would go with an external modem with ethernet,
allows for use with router etc, with more pc.s
or for space saving get a pci adsl modem.

[Amarjit]

I am referring to the speed of the connection. Ethernet ADSL modems are limited to around 1 Mbps upstream and 8 Mbps downstream. I have heard that PCI ADSL modems dominate over this. Is this right?

Edit I am in no need for a router or anything like that, beacuse a have a single PC.

oh rite, em not to sure bout that,
try some manufacturers sites, but thats all down to individual manufacturers i think.
as ethernet is 100/100Mbs.
so i guess its theoretically possible to get an adsl modem up to they speed.
but not to sure bout that one.
just had a look at speedtouch website, and all there modems are limited to 8Mbs up and 832kbs down.
so maybe a limit to adsl?

check out http://www.ertyu.org/~steven_nikkel/netspeeds.html
right at the bottom of the page.
the up and downstream rates for adsl.
so i think its gonn be down to your personal pref.
pci will save desk spave though.
unless your short on pci slots.
in my order i would go for.
pci/ethernet
then usb.

it realy makes no diffrence wich u use thu i would not get USB it will go just as fast as any thing else but USB has problems and is not too reliable

my prefrence would be ethernet as u can hook it too a hub and use it with more then 1 comp at a time

ethernet is usually a bit faster and more stable as usb

and with ethernet you can always add a router for easy internet sharing

I agree with ethernet, also if you are using Win'98 (not SE) and try to install a usb adsl/cable modem, you are in for a whole new world of pain !!!!

adsl is nice.... im using that right now... of course there are others that are faster...
