Cable Forum - View Single Post - Modem upgrade for 20MB broadband

tvout · 22-05-2007, 19:29

Hi all,

I went to www.virginmedia.com/changes (finally updated!) and checked my modem for 20MB.

My modem is a Scientific Atlanta DPX100 V2.1 and they're sending me a new one (any ideas on what make and model it's likely to be and is it any good?)

What I didn't understand was in the list of modems they had set top boxes?
I have an Explorer 4200 DVB, which wasn't on there, only the 4000DVB. I'm guessing I'm being a bit thick here but do some people receive their broadband through a set top box instead of a modem? What's the deal with that?
