Even a slow Ethernet network would be faster than ADSL, since 10baseT LAN networks run at 10 Mbps. An ADSL connection typically tops out at around 8 Mbps.
However, if you are talking about throughput, then they might be very close, since Ethernet has problems with packet collision.
Then again, most Ethernet networks today for LANs run at 100 Mbps, which would place it far faster than ADSL based on speed measurements. However, ADSL does not use the same transmission method as Ethernet, but Ethernet will still be faster than ADSL (especially if you consider the Gigabit speeds).

Does a faster adsl router give faster download speed?
In most cases, ADSL speed is capped (fixed) by the ISP (Internet Service Provider). So the would be no, it does NOT give faster download speed! However, a faster ADSL router CAN improve speed on a local network (i.e. from laptop to desktop, transfers).
Which is faster ethernet or wireless?
99 out of 100 times, Ethernet.
How do you connect to an ISP using ADSL?
I believe your Internet Service Provider must sell you this option. Once you pay for it your router should be working at the speed of ADSL. I am currently using ADSL, but will be going to a faster speed.
External modems are usually connected to a?
Moderm modems (Dial-up, Cable, ADSL) are connected directly to the Ethernet port of the computer.
Which is better ethernet or USB cable?
Ethernet has a faster transfer rate then usb.
What is an ADSL modem?
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is a form of DSL, a data communications technology that enables faster data transmission than a conventional modem can provide. A modem which can do such a job is called an ADSL modem.
What uses one upload speed from the consumer to an ISP and faster download speed?
ADSL
Which is faster the current Wi-Fi standard or Fast Ethernet?
The current standard is 802.11n which is 160 Mbps is faster than Fast Ethernet 100Mbps
Why is ADSL not suitable for videoconferencing?
It transmits signals faster downstream toward the user than upstream to the server
Why do you suppose that Ethernet won out over Token Bus?
Because Ethernet is so much faster than a token ring network.
What is the comparison between ADSL and Broadband?
Speed, mainly. Broadband (cable internet) is going to be much faster than DSL.
Adsl and cable?
ADSL (asymmetrical digital subscriber line) is a protocol that you ISP (internet service provider) use it is a analogue signal. cable normally is a cat 5e or cat 6 in to the modem and is a digital connection (much faster)
