BSNL, the Government controlled Internet service provider, gives out UT300R2U modem for its subscribers. The modem comes with an installation CD, a power suppy cord and an Ethernet cable and a USB network cable. Most of the subscribers have more than one system at their home. The issue they face is that they cannot access the internet on both the computers at the same time. Using this modem, they can access the internet simultaneously with independent speed in both systems and without the need to buy any additional hardware.
