I've just moved house and have gone from a BT Broadband connection to Virgin Media Broadband (Telewest Cable) connection.

Need to buy a new router to attach to the existing Motorola Surfboard SB4200 modem and then a new adapter to attach to my machine.

Couple of Q's:

1. What the diff between an ADSL Router and a Cable one?
2. Could I actually buy a router with a modem built in and then just scrap the SB4200? Would there be any advantage to this?

My budget is loose... Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£50-60 ideally, for both router and adapter, but could go higher...

Any recommendations? Many thanks.
