Not an option for us folk on modem-only mode. No problem, because most folk with their own routers have found their own WiFi coverage solutions.

However, optimum WiFi coverage around the home is a big selling point atm, with BT insisting that their product is the best! Maybe so, but no stand-alone WiFi hub is going to cover the average-sized or larger home. Some boosting arrangement is required be it Asus Aimesh, Asus Lyra, power plugs etc

It makes sense, therefore, that Virgin bring out their own arrangement that may out-gun anything any other ISP can offer. In the long run they need to sell it as standard, at no extra cost, in all their packages, otherwise, as Taf has suggested, we are paying extra for a service we should already have.
