I know this will probably get a few people's backs up, but at the launch of a product I would much rather Virgin forced people to at least have the kit they know that works.

If Virgin had launched with a BYO option in regards to the router, I would not be surprised if there ended up being loads of threads on here and other forums complaining about the speed, and how Virgin can't fix it, that turned out to be because of the router rather than anything else.

At least by providing and end-to-end solution, Virgin *should* be able to more easily identify any hardware issue seperate from any network issue
