Ive just brought a new macbook pro and realised it doens't have an ethernet input. My office doens't have reliable wifi so I need to buy an adapter. Is there a speed difference between a USB to ethernet adapter and a Thunderbold to ethernet adaptor?

I will be checking out large GIT repositories and downloading very large database files so speed is important.
1It is worth pointing out that most home networking equipment does not come with 10/100/1000 ports anyways unless you have a premium product. Of course that is also changing. So if you have an home network products older then a few years its likely you can't even take full advantage of the 1000 Mbit/s port anyways. – Ramhound – 2015-12-03T15:50:17.063
It also won't lead to faster downloads from the internet for most people. – orkoden – 2015-12-08T09:45:09.510
