So after the install today I noticed it was done differently.

At my previous address,

The black cable from the brown box outside came straight into the house and straight into the Modem.

Today it was done a little different.

The black cable from outside came inside and connected to some square "box", which was then placed inside a "Virgin Media Branded White Box".

I was told this was to safe guard from lightning :/

Then another white cable was attached to the other side of the black box an then into the modem.

My question is:

Can I get rid of the White wire and the little black box and have the black wire go straight into the modem like before?
