Routers for 20mb users
 

Whatever happened to Virgin Media issuing routers to their 20mb users, i remember there was a thread on here about it a few months ago?

i am also told but dont know if its true that the modems that will be issued for 50mb users will also have an inbuilt router as the current ambits can only achieve a max of around 40mbish.

I think if you ring up they will still give you one, not sure tbh. But the router i got when i was on 10Mb (as it was at the time) was sub-par IMO.

Always best to call up and ask :)

As for the new 50Mb modems, yes, they will be pretty different, but i honestly doubt they will include an inbuilt router, as this would more than likely anger a few customers who have advanced home network setups. (Can you imagine all the port issues with it?)

You need to phone sales to get one, fairly sure they are free on 20mb, certainly are if you upgrade to 20mb, but I think they are free on 4/10 and 20. Otherwise they are £40, nice setup cd though.

Re: Routers for 20mb users
 

I'm getting 20Mb installed this Thursday. What make and model are/were these free routers?

Re: Routers for 20mb users
 

Netgear as far as i remember but they dont install the routers unless u ask.

Depending on what area ur in if its a ex NTHELL area u will get a Ambit 255/256 modem.

VM supplying free routers ? there's irony for you, as soon you phone up they'll say blimey you've got a router, sorry guv it's down to you that is. All OK at our end, have you tried connecting directly to the modem to try and get back the missing 19 meg.

Re: Routers for 20mb users
 

The one's supplied by VM are supported, its just ones that have been bought by the customer arn't supported

Re: Routers for 20mb users
 

Yeah, never saw that one coming ;)
