One problem with this, and that it isn't actually connected to a phone socket. This is a majorr problem as I need to connect a router to my PC for wireless internet to work on my laptop. If I use a router I know that I need to uninstall the original modem, and connect the router to the phone socket that the broadband should have run off. However, NTL decided to install a box with no phone socket at all. I will now have to contact Virgin to come out and install a new phone socket near my PC, which will waste even more of my money. I ahve already wasted about £80 on useless routers, because of NTL's incompetence.
