I got the liksys cable modem with the usb connection because i have a usb port and no ethernet connection, but then i found out the hard way that i cant connect my other computers unless i get the network card, and return the modem and get the ethernet cable modem, which they dont have in stock! but all is well that ends well, because the product itself is easy to setup and is surprisingly fast!
I am able to use the modem with ATT broadband. you should make sure that your modem will be compatible with your isp, otherwise, you are going to have to do a lot of foot work! once i got the information for compatible modems, i went out shopping and bought the linksys modem, b/c it was cheap and it was one of the few listed that seemed to be the best rated in terms of connectivity and speeds.
one thing to make sure also is if you want to network the modem to mulitple computer, which means that you would have to buy a router as well as the modem, but NOT this one, b/c its a usb connection and theoretically it is possible to netowrk it, but its a pain to do so. i did it, and it took longer than i had wanted, because i had to buy a network card, and a longer ethernet cable, and whats more is that my computer has to be on if the other computer wants internet access, now thats a pain!
so make sure you have a plan before you go and purchase this item.
