May I ask if there already broadband connections that uses USB or HDMI the connection medium of a modem or router or gateway of a certain house to the node or exchange?

I would like to also chat with you for open discussion forum at this email address aldrich.uy.g@gmail.com

In answer to ’s question: no — USB and HDMI are not used as the physical “last‑mile” between a home gateway and the provider’s node/exchange. USB is a short‑reach host‑to‑peripheral bus with tight cable‑length and topology limits; HDMI is a point‑to‑point A/V link (HDMI 1.4 added an optional HDMI Ethernet Channel for device‑to‑device sharing, but that is not a substitute for ISP access). As observed, consumer premises networking is delivered to the gateway as Ethernet (RJ‑45) or Wi‑Fi inside the home. (compliance.usb.org)

The actual “last‑mile” media ISPs use are different kinds of cable and radio: fiber to the home (PON standards such as GPON/XGS‑PON), hybrid fiber‑coax (DOCSIS over HFC), and the telephone‑pair DSL family (including VDSL and G.fast) — plus fixed wireless and satellite where wired build‑out is impractical. Those technologies are standardized and engineered for distance, spectral use and operator backhaul in ways USB/HDMI are not. (cablelabs.com)

Practical exceptions and notes: USB commonly appears only as (a) a local tether or a cellular USB “dongle” (the connection is radio to the carrier, not a wired exchange) or (b) a router feature that accepts a USB modem as WAN failover. HDMI’s Ethernet Channel exists in the spec but is optional and for HDMI‑device sharing inside a system. For any installation, the ISP‑provided gateway’s labeled WAN connector (coax F‑connector, fiber ONT/SFP or phone jack) and the router manual determine what the ISP will accept — using USB/HDMI as a replacement for coax/fiber/copper last‑mile wiring is nonstandard and impractical.

I'm not aware of such, not that they cannot exist. Most computer/phone/tablet internet / network connections require either a direct ethernet connection, or a WiFi (wireless ethernet) connection.
