Yeah shame it cannot be used with other connections.
Well i took a gamble and phoned them up, well after i went through the options, the automated response was there is a on going issue regarding the broadband in my area, and they have the engineers are trying to fix it asap, lol well that nice of them.
Well i see what it is like later on or tomorrow and give them a ring if i dont get a sniff of a virginmedia connection and i cannot use the newsgroups.

Thanks for you help
