the thing is greencreeper usb is a plug and play device, its less likely to cause the consumer hassle, just use the broadjump cd, install the driver, plug the modem in to the usb port and away you go.

with ethernet older pc's do not have ethernet cards, although i have come across pc's which have neither.....

so in a nutshell, usb is more widely available and seen as an 'easier' option than using ethernet, but atleast the modem lets you choose....
