I have successfully upgraded 4 systems connected via ethernet to my DSL 
modem, from 12.10 to 13.04.  These were all upgrades (not fresh 
installs).  I did not have do do anything special with my Internet 
connection.

Two of the 4 upgrades were Lubuntu.  The other two were Kubuntu and 
UbuntuStudio.

One of the Lubuntu upgrades was on a 933 megahertz, 512 Meg. RAM system.

All of the machines I tried a fresh install on, depend on wireless.
