Can I get dsl internet access without ethernet?

Answer by  toastedcheese (216)

If your telephone company offers DSL, you can get it. You might want to set up an ethernet connection from the DSL modem to your computer, but the ethernet cord will probably come your modem - so it's not an investment or anything.

DSL internet access is possible with the correct modem type. You will need to find a DSL modem that has USB ability, as well as your computer needs to have an open USB port.

Yes, but you need some type of network device. It has to either be ethernet or wireless, either way you will need to wire the connection through ethernet to setup the router before you can connect.
