Default cable telephone and broadband

I was asking last week about getting cable installed for telephone. I
have booked Virgin to do an installation but I gather that the broadband
comes via the tv coax not the paired telephone cable. I assume therefore
that a router connects directly with what ever tv terminal that they
install, not the telephone box.


Correct. You get a cable modem from Virgin, which you need to connect to
a router - which is different to the ones for ADSL.

The Virgin cable modem will have an ethernet port and any old (non-
ADSL) router will do.
