OK, went down to Virgin and they refused to send a spotter here. Guess they don't want to sell me broadband then, even if I still mean I could get it as I get TV signal through a wire in the wall that goes into this black General Instruments box which crazy enough gives me free Skysports 1-2-3, MTV etc.. Channel 34 on it is even Virgin's own, and in my previous flat we got the TV signal to that box from Virgin's cable. So something is fishy here

Anyway, I talked to my neighbouring flat and we have all agreed to share the internet. They have Virgin atm, and I need to buy a repeater/access point to increase the signal distribution. I can pick up their network in the room next to their flat, but I need to know more about which repeaters are any good or if they even are compatible with Virgin's own routers. Also on positioning the repeater. Any help?

Thanks to everyone so far, you've been great with your inputs.
