Hi

Thanks both.

I would want either L or XL. I really don't need XXL.

It's confusing on the Virgin Media web site http://shop.virginmedia.com/broadban...-packages.html

Comparison table shows all packages come with a "Free Wireless N router".

Small print says
4 Free Virgin Media Hub for L and XL: Wireless enabled equipment required. Available to all new Broadband customers taking our Size: L and Size: XL Broadband services, and to existing Broadband customers upgrading to Size: XL (subject to status and credit checks). Wireless router for XXL: Wireless router and adapter are included in your package.

Assume then that for new customers.

L & XL - get a Virgin Media Hub
XXL - get a wireless router (don't need this package)

To add to confusion, however, when you select a Bundle/Package there is a section at the bottom of the page that says Wireless Routers. You are given an option of Yes/No to the Virgin Media Hub.

Questions to Virgin I guess would be:

1) Do you get a choice of the Virgin Media hub or the wireless router with Broadband L or XL?

2) If you say "No" I don't want the Virgin Media hub. What do you get? And it that product compatible with Apple Airport Extreme?

3) If you have to take the the Virgin Media Hub. Does it work with Apple Airport Extreme?

Either way...I want to use the Apple wireless network across my whole flat.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Looks like you've answered my second post...didn't see this one.

So either way...whatever I receive for the Broadband L or XL part of my overall bundle/package...it will work with Apple Airport Extreme?

Many thanks for your help.
