If those are your keys in the photo you might like the blur the detail on the ends of the keys, as it wouldn't be difficult to duplicate them. Take it easy, and have fun :-) Tom Hi Dan

Congratulations, that’s great news.

If those are your keys in the photo you might like the blur the detail on the ends of the keys, as it wouldn’t be difficult to duplicate them.

Take it easy, and have fun :-)

The bridge was stamped "NTL" actually. I wonder if you buy "wireless broadband" they send you a Netgear router *and* the bridge? (There was a netgear router at this installation that noone seemed to know where it came from, so I guess Virgin could have supplied it...)

Is that from experience or did you hear it from someone? That's the way it used to be when we got our broadband via NTL circa 2005, I stuck a belkin router on top of it and that worked fine (not that I'd recommend the pain of a Belkin router again). I'm not too fussed about >1 public IP's. I knew about the fibre to the cabinet thing, hey it's better than you're gonna get with anything else - can switch over once they do start offering it to the home proper.

You plug in a single (firewalled) PC, and it gets a public IP address via DHCP. Alternatively, you connect a router of your own choice to the bridge to do NAT etc. I don't think they can provide > 1 public IP address, but I may be wrong. "Fibre Optic Broadband" is actually fibre to the cabinet, then coax to your door. You can then get them to do a multi-room installation, with a splitter on the incoming cable coax feed and boxes wherever you want. I would assume you can locate the cable modem (bridge) wherever you want in your house by connecting it to one of the splitter ports. Virgin don’t provide a router, they provide an ethernet bridge.

They didn't want the CD days to end - if you have seen the chart that's floating around on the internet, it's obvious why. On your last point I couldn't agree more... I very recently was reminded of the band Bush, who to my shame I had completely forgotten about, and it's almost eerie how well I can remember their songs when I haven't heard them in so many years. The digital revolution is still very much underway, it'll be extremely interesting to see where we are in 10 years time.

But yeah i'm a sucker so i'll be buying it regardless, even just for the DVD of all their Videos. I know exactly what you mean, they could have put on Jamie’s Solo song on for example.
