1. The 'new' teirs will work through usb (although the Network Interface Card (NIC)/Ethernet route is better for any network connection)
2. Remember that 'anything plugged into a usb port is using up your processors computing power as it has to preform any conversion required to get the signals to the correct device.
3 The days of 'NIC only' for any cable provider are 'maybe' far into the future and your current computer will be either long outdated or a manufacturer will come up with USB X capable of handling the speeds required
