Excellent, thank you for the replies!
Because the master socket is right by the front door, an all in one unit is my preference. I can mount this high up the wall so it is out of the way.
I was looking at Sky as well, but for a lesser package than I currently pay with VM costs a lot more. Talk Talk Fibre and YouView seems to be the way forward for us. I also notice Sky don't allow the use of anything but their own router.
I have emailed
cablemystreet@virginmedia.co.uk. My new hosue is a new build Barratt Home and is on a street that is cabled although Barratt never saw the sense to get VM in to do the new build. Our neighbours outside the development can get VM. It's a long shot but worth an email!
