So was wondering if anyone has a suitable router which supports the XL WAN speed? Will be searching in the interim, just thought I'd ask in case anybody using one already and could recommend it.

I gave up on Commercial routers and built one of these. Much better at handling large downloads from any of the main P2P type programme's and it uses MRTG so you can track how much you have downloaded through the cable modem.

The main points are that it uses 10/100 lan cards so is more than capable of handling anything that Virgin throws at it for now.
Any old pc will do from a 386 to a pent 4. When it is up and running no keyboard , mouse, monitor are needed.
