Is it possible to connect it to ethernet instead? Much fewer headaches. There's absolutely no good reason to give a modem a USB jack instead of an ethernet one.

use the route command and give the neccessary submask/subnet route and check whether still internet is getting or not

more over check ifconfig for correct device and add route to that device only

With the USB connection attached, could you post the output of /sbin/ifconfig and /sbin/route -n please?
