USB gets straight onto the bus, Cat5 is buffered. USB is restricted to short physical distances, Cat 5 goes greater distances. For general use you won't notice any difference in speed

How to Connect ps3 to modem?

Purchase an ethernet cable, either cat5 or cat6 long enough to run from the back of your PS3 to the Modem. If your modem has something already plugged into the ethernet, you need to unplug it and plug in the PS3. If you want to be able to use both without having to switch the plugs you need to purchase a router that you connect to the modem and then connect everything to the router.
