Disconnecting dialup modem for DSL install?

In Verizon's instructions they advise to disconnect any dialup modem before installing their wireless modem.

The modem I used for dialup is internal in my comp. Is it actually mandatory that I disable/remove it before installing my wireless modem?

The also ask if I want to hook up to Ethernet or USB. What's the difference?

My computer and my wife's will be working from a wireless modem, and we do not want file sharing.

Just unplug dial up cable from computer. I would get into the control center and delete the dial up connection.

Ethernet may be more reliable and faster.

I would read all the FAQs at
