Thinking of upgrading to 50mb Can i buy a second hand superhub from Ebay?
 
Guys

Is it ok to buy a superhub for 50mb broadband from ebay or elsewhere and then ring virgin up and upgrade to 50mb?

Virgin are charging 30 quid i think but im sure i can get one for around 20, well i may be able to.

Will they frown upon this or not care where i got the hub from?

Thanks!

extreme penny pinching? you only saving a tenner for potentially tons of hassle, and what will very likely be a lan switch at best.

why would anyone want to buy an ISP device from third party anyway? you should be more concerned about security and keeping hold of what YOUR paying for. call 150 > option 5 > option 2, speak to an agent and obtain a good deal :D
