General Comments

The Alcatel Speedtouch 330 USB is a fantastic little modem. Extremely fast and very reliable when used with Windows XP.
There is a Driver update available for Windows 98/ME which definitely cures the problems.
It's maximum speed is supposed to be 576.0 Kbps (downstream) but mine has achieved 615.0 Kbps on a good day but only around 70.0 Kbps when the network is very busy.
I have found it to be a very good and reliable product.

    Does anyone know if you can run the Alcatel Speedtouch 330 USB Modem on more than one computer at the same time? Any help would be useful thanx

    The Alcatel Speedtouch 330 USB Modems are designed to be used on a single computer. Even the very latest version will only operate on one machine. For multiple computer connections at any one time the easiest way is to buy a Router. I am currently using the Speedtouch 580 Router, which is a wireless system basically, but you can also use it as a wired system.

    If I was choosing one modem for one computer from the huge range available on the market, it would definitely be the Speedtouch 330. They are so well made and really reliable. It does pay to shop around though, and I found it in one store for £24.99.

    Hope that helps.
