Her idea has more merit than I initially thought.

At that price I have ordered one and will see how it goes. Thanks.

Problem is now I have run out of ports and needs a router with more ports. Looking as a D-Link 250 8 porter.

I've just left Virgin after only 6 months...

Home phone - never really used but seemed OK.

Internet - OK Speed, but constant dropouts
- Superhub WiFi is a joke, ended up just using it as a modem and buying a better router.

TiVo - Really good user interface, but it just doesn't work.
Recordings missed at least twice a week.
Rather than just recording a program when its on, it just records the channel when the program was supposed to be on. So if it starts late you only get half the program - unlike Sky.

IMO Virgin have got alot better last 2 years. Hardly any service outages in that time.

Having posted that no doubt I will lose the service for the next week or so....
