Thinking of Joining but need advice
 
Hi,

I am sorely tempted to sign up for Virgin Media 10 meg Package, I currently get a variable 1meg to 6 meg depending on the wind from a BT Wholesale Reseller.

I have a recently purchased Netgear DG834N Adsl Wireless router with firewall etc.

I understand I will need a firewall router with cable, can I use the above unit or will it become trash and if so would you recommend?

Also 1 off topic question is do Virgin Media accept Credit Card Payment?

Thanks in Advance!:)

:welcome: to Cable Forum :tu:

ADSL and cable work differently. Routers that have an inbuilt ADSL modem will not normally work correctly for networking with cable.

A standard broadband router will work - the Linksys WRT54G series are often liked on here. Sell the netgear on ebay ;)

Payment to VM by direct debit is the best way. Any other method can get you charged a non direct debit fee - I think that's currently £5.00 per month :eek:
