VigSys sell a similar device, the VD30, which can share a Huawei E220 modem, like 3 supply. I use this to share out my 3 connection, (when 3 manages to supply a connection).

Yeah, right...

Having just experienced the awesome power of 3's 3G offering, sharing a connection like this would be like sharing a 56k modem. Fine if you're ssh'ing onto a terminal, piss-poor for anything else...

Thumb Up

Would be useful when t-mobile increase the speed of 3G internet access so it can handle more than one user connecting to it at one time... Only with a speed increase will it compete with standard broadband internet!

not just tmob

Can also be done using Draytek Vigor kit. I've tried it on '3' with about the results suggested by Nipsirc, above.
