Your pc must be very old to not have usb ports. I have one that's 4 years old with usb ports. The advantage of usb is that you don't have to buy anything or break open your computer.
It's very unlikely an internet feed over dsl (384kbps-1.somethingmbps) will come anywhere near loading up usb or even slow ethernet(10mbps).

ADSL has just come to my neck of the woods and the ISP can provide a modem
for either a network ethernet card, or a USB port. Since I have neither on
my machine, I need to decide which of these cards I should purchase to
stick in a PCI slot.
The question is: which card should I buy - USB or Ethernet? (exact model
suggestions appreciated!). I use a stand-alone PC and only want to use the
phone at the same time as be on the internet.
The ISP also is selling "ADSL Routers" - do I need one?!
Thanks in advance,
Simon.
