Whenever we take out the ethernet and plug in the usb cable, we restart the cable modem and we get a pc connection but no data bandwidth.

Yes, it is true Ethernet is much faster, but if you really want to use USB...
When you installed the modem, it probably asked you which you wanted to use: Ethernet or USB. You choose Ethernet. To get USB, you must go through that setup again.
Remember: You cant use the ethernet and USB connections at the same time. You should probably also restart your computer after switching the connections.

Do you have the USB driver downloaded for your modem?
