Hi

If you want to move your superhub to a different room and need a replacement coaxial cable (is that what it's called - the one that connects to the VM box thing on the wall) due to length of current cable, can you buy any generic coaxial cable or is it a specific type.

When I had my superhub installed, I had already got my own bought coaxial cable connected, as I had previously moved my old modem. But the engineer said it wasn't up to the standard required for 100M broadband and he replaced it with one from his own kit. He said that VM's "own" cable is required to ensure I got the right speeds etc.

So, is there a coaxial cable I can purchase that will be as good as what VM provide, or will I have to get VM to visit and move the superhub for me?

Thanks
