Hello,
I have no experience with cable or computers!
I want to sign up for the broadband here (the one on the left):
http://allyours.virginmedia.com/html...broadband.html
I have been told that my house was previously signed up with Virgin for broadband, phone and TV. There is currently nothing connected (not even a phone). I just want broadband, no TV, no phone.
Given the above, can some kind soul please tell me if what I think is correct:
1. I sign up for the left hand offer in the page above.
2. A Virgin man(!) comes to connect the broadband.
3. There is a socket somewhere in the house which the man connects a modem to.
4. Virgin supply the modem.
5. Virgin supply the cable between the socket and the modem.
6. I connect a wireless router to the modem.
7. I supply the router.
8. I supply the cable between the modem and the router.
9. The cable between the modem and the router is a standard ethernet cable.
10. This router (

My computer is currently connected to another wireless network, so I'm assuming that will be ok with respect to hardware...just some fiddling with settings.
I want to be sure that I have it all right before I book the appointment...
Thanks,
Alice
