They do have their own brown box but its looks like its been smashed up a little bit, but its essentially coming from MY brownbox! (every house has its own connection in my street(

I've already phoned virgin and they are investigating, but would like some oppinions here.
There is a chance that it could be legit, it's not unheard of for VM to run a cable from the box next door, but it's always done with the permission of the next door neighbour. I would say it's far more likely to be them illegally obtaining cable though, especially as the wire is white. I've never seen VM use anything but black wire for external wiring and white for internal.
