Yes. When I signed-up for broadband about 18 months ago, my ISP supplied a simple USB modem (plus two filters), as part of the package. Pretty standard deal back then, and all I needed for one PC. Soon after, I bought an integrated Wireless/ADSL/Modem/Router. This replaces the USB modem, and broadband is available throughout the house. Mrs speke has her own wireless laptop.
I opted for the 'free' ISP supplied modem initially, because I wanted to be sure that the ADSL connection to our house was sound, before further investment - our local exchange had only just been 'enabled' at the time. It's now surplus to requirement, but a handy 'spare', should the router roll over.
