I didn't say they did, did I? I said what I think about them, and I asked the question. No need to be rude about it and accuse me of lying.

And I told you why not, because I've had nothing but trouble with them. Both on TV and internet. The last ISP I had had a terrible reputation (BulldogDSL) and yet even they were far better.

I've thrown my phone into the pot as well as I've got a good deal from VM to move across. I don't hate Sky (or even dislike) just made an informed choice based on my circumstances. End of.

For you it might be worth it then. But it's still worth asking why it has to be Virgin isn't it? I have Virgin TV and on paper it looks good. But the reality is not quite like that. I've had to call them 5 times since I've had it, and I've only had it since about June or so. And I need to call them yet again, seeing as one of the channels I should be getting has become greyed out. This doesn't include the V+ box I had that died, and their botched installation that left me without TV, phone, AND internet for days through no fault of my own. And problems like recorded films and programs ending 20 minutes before they should. Nothing like watching an hour and forty minutes of a movie and then finding the last twenty minutes cut off. Or the number of times the V+ has "hung" and had to be reset or either reset itself. Etc..etc..

And that's not including all the trouble I've had with the internet.

I will not be signing up with them, although I would like to, but as I've mentioned I will be sharing my next-door flats internet from Virgin.

So my question is still: are the Virgin wireless routers compatible with most WAP/repeaters?

I am concentrated, which is why I asked if you can get ADSL?
