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,

My opinion = Ethernet connection

DSL comes from a central office as stated above. Its limit is about
miles out from that central office, unless they have whats called a
remote terminal, which is a extender of service in simpler terms. So th
closer you are to those outputs, the greater the speed.

As far as getting the best connection in your home, sometimes WiFi i
faster than hardwiring it, it really depends on the set-up. With m
set-up I transfer files faster than copper with a bottom of the lin
router. So really it all depends, but definitely stay away from a us
connection. If your going to use a wired connection, use the etherne
for sure.

I hope this helps. If you have any further questions PM me, I'
actually a DSL tech ;

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.

I'd stick with Ethernet or wireless if possible, no matter what the
actual connection speed. Unless the modem supports USB2, you would be
limited to 10Mbit speeds at best. Also, USB tends to have high CPU load
compared with Ethernet.

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