Just a quick n00b question.

I am going to move to plusnet I think but do not really want to use usb for my modem. Ethernet is apparentl faster at transfering high amounts of data.

My question is how would I connect this?

My motherboard is an MSI 875PNEO and includes a gigabit ethernet LAN could I connect it here? Or is this just for connecting pc to pc??

If I cannot do it this way what do I need to connect?? And what modem should I buy?? Is a more expensive one better?? IE: better and transferring faster etc.....

Or after all that......Is USB as good as ethernet or is ethernet indeed better?

Tnx in advance.
