Cable Modem
Actually it is the ethernet card that matters. i feel the network connection using the same modem and the ethernet card in my laptop compaq evo is giving me a better speed. This modem works for 5, 6 and 7 versions. I have checked that myself for all type of installations and runs.

If I had an ethernet card I would have used it instead of USB just because of reading some posts reporting a faster speed with the ethernet card. But you know what, I've gotten getting 500 KB/sec down with it. Haven't done any in-depth testing but the USB connection is definitely fast enough for everything I'm doing with it.
The first several weeks I had the internet connection set up here were filled with major intermittent connectivity problems. About 4 techs from the cable company came out and left scratching their heads. In the meantime loudly and persistently complaining to customer service. Then one day a tech stopped by and swapped out the modem for this one and waa-laa, problem solved.
Also got to dig the standby switch on top. whenever I'm away from the PC I hit the button and it disconnects from the Internet.
