I know there has been some threads on the above but as they are a while ago (the ones i have seen) would appreciate any views on the above and compatability with Windows XP.
As a virgin customer its a ‘freebie’ but after looking at various reviews reception seems mixed.
Would like a definitive steer from fellow DSers!!!

Bad news for you guys 
I phone VM the other day and was told my account was flagged – to get a new modem, which duly arrived 2 days later.
Being a great beleiver in the adage “if it aint broke, don’t fix it” I am not sure whether to replace my existing Surfboard SB5100. The new modem is a much smaller Ambit unit.
A quick speed test indicates that I am getting close to my 20meg connection speed, so I see no reason to swap them over.
Is there any reason why I should replace the old unit? I do not expect to go down the 50Meg route – 20 is fine for me.
Anyone here on the VIP package upgraded to 50 meg? How much does it cost to do that? Also, is it worth it? Do you notice the extra speed?
I Have just signed up for another 12 month contract, but i read somewhere that new customers get a free wireless router, do you think i would be able to argue that i should be able to get such router due to the new contract??

Hi im getting a wireless router installed in 2 weeks time, the person on the phone said that the router could be placed in one room where my computer is not. Now my pc is not wireless would i need to buy one of those usb wireless things or do they come in the instalment package?
Also do you know the range of the router? I live in a sjhared house that is quite large
Thank you for any help
Is the following router capable of recieving 20mb? Im thinking of upgradin my VW from 2MB to 20MB.
I have a NTL@Home 120 cable modem which i have had for the last few years running at 2MB. I have upgraded to 10MB a few days ago but im still getting 2MB. Virgin have told me that they will send a new modem out, do you think this is the problem?
It has ntlhm120_ntl0003.cpr firmware.
50mb…..!!
Seems like its gonna happen…Heres part of the email i received today….. Make of it what u will 
Dear Mr xxxxxxx
I forwarded your query to xxxx xxxxxxxx and he has responded:
“The technical challenges in his area are such that relief work is not an easy task.
The hardware has been installed and we are now waiting to integrate the hardware into the core network.
Whilst Mr xxxxxx is correct in that he was told we would have completed the work by end Jan 09, due to some technical issues this has been delayed and our current target is completion by end Feb 09.
Once this is done we will be in a position to bring the DoCSIS 3.0 Network ‘online’ and then the relief to the congested ports in the area will be undertaken.
Hey I asked the question before but will again….
I am in UB1 and in an analogue cable area….. I can receive Fiber optic broadband, Analouge tv, and home phone according to the postal code checker at virginmedia.com
Tried samknows.com it says only Home Phone… No Broadband, no TV.
I called up virgin who said Analouge tv and home phone..
WHY CANT I GET BROADBAND WHEN THE NEXT STREET CAN AND THE ONE AFTER THAT??
