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.

www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk and go for the choices beneath the Virgin logo...

Though unless something has changed, you can connect a single PC
directly to the cable modem.

We have our cable TV in one room downstairs and the cable modem (and our
wireless router) upstairs.

The cable telephone is on a separate wire.
