Ok so I got broadband not too long ago. Dude comes and looks at the back of my comp and says he needs to install a network card (ethernet card). I was unaware of that so I let him install it and hook shit up. Now I just watched a lil video on how to connect the modem and it says I can use ethernet OR USB. So I look in the box that the modem came in and sure enough there is a fucking USB cord in there...

Now why would the guy tell me I need an ethernet card when I could connect it through USB instead? Was I tricked into something? Or is it better to have the ethernet card?

Network cards are easier to setup. Plus connecting your cable modem through USB can sometimes be a bitch to setup and possibly a problem down the road.

No he wasn't about the card. But he was when he told you he had to take naked pictures of you for it to work. I can't believe you fell for that.:classic:

Juan Million, I apologize for not giving you a serious answer.
It's also good that you make sure you look at what they're doing.

haha, it's cool. I was just confused cause I was told that I could install it myself but then the guy said I needed a network card. I agree ya gotta keep an eye on these fools.
