    Although a friend of mine has a Alcatel Speed Touch USB and it works fine for him, I've had nothing but trouble with it. I get the error where the SpeedTouch icon in the system tray goes yellow and says "Initializing ADSL Line", and it won't connect. BT's techsupport, as usual, has been unhelpful.

    The Alcatel Speed Touch USB modem came free with my ISP package, but is still reasonably cheap otherwise. An absolute breeze to install, and reliable with good support from the manufacturers.

    However, on testing of various systems, this modem will cause regular freezing of many AMD processor syst ...

    The Alcatel Speed Touch 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 but mine has achieved 615.0 Kbps on a good ...

    On windows xp it always goes offline automaticly, the icon in the corner is yellow and it says "intalizing adsl line". My ISP is BT, does anyone else have this problem?

    I got it when ordered my BT Openworld package and I paid ~£80 for it. I just realised this thing does not have an Ethernet interface, only USB, and I have to buy another modem when I setup my home network.

    I joined BTopenworld broadband who supplied me with the Alcatel SpeedTouch USB Modem which i had to pay an extra £80 for.
    I found that the modem was difficult to set up and unless you know really what you are doing it's easy to get confused and install it wrongly. So it's not very "user frien ...

    Had a lot of trouble with this modem when I first got it. It used to disconnect and both lights would go off on the unit. Only solution was a reboot the machine. This was all due to the modem and my VIA chipset. I took a bit of time getting the right BIOS and USB upgrades before the modem was sta ...
