the engineer will bring the modem round with him and just use it to replace your old one, he wont replace any cables or anything. They are brainwashed into telling you that you can only use the Netgear router they have provided but just ignore them.

Be warned, once they get the modem up and running they will run a speed test from an official VM test server. When they did it for me and another people in my area we only got 26mbit. If that happens to you run the test from speedtest.net and you'll get your true speed.

I know other peops have been experiencing probs with 50mbit over the last couple of weeks but mine has been super sweet.
