@rayben

A warm welcome to Mac-Forums.

As you will perceive, we do really have to have some background here.

Suppose you start by telling us what Devices are involved, with their specs as well, please.

Then give us a clue as to what you are trying to achieve eg transfer of data, connection to another display or to a sound system or another Apple Device..........

All that helps us to help you :)

I was just wondering if I connected my modem through the thunderbolt would stream any faster

The fastest way of connecting an internet connection from modem to computer is via an Ethernet cable.

Does that info help you or am I misunderstanding your question?

It really is a waste of our time to try to figure out what you are trying to do with snippets of information. How about you write a full post with all the details about what you are trying to accomplish and we can try to provide any answers we might have?
