Ethernet can be connected at 10Mbps/100Mbps/1000Mbps, potentially the 10Mbps could slow down your connection depending on local network activity. Likely though someone would no be running a home network at 10Mbps these days.

The speed you are getting is very common for Elite speedtest and should be the same using USB.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22649373 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 11:43:31 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22647397 Mountaineer1 : »SBC DSL FAQ »An Explanation of DSL Overhead (or: Why is my DSL slower than advertised?)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22647397 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 21:22:06 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22646313 Albtross : Flippant,

I do have a quick question for you. If someone were getting 4.8 - 5.2Mbps / download speeds out of a possible 6Mbps on ATT using built-in ethernet, could they expect the same performance using USB?
