Hi Denis,
I have never had this problem with Virgin. They have always supported me
with a router. They also don't outsource their support staff from India or
any other country, they are UK based. Their support isn't always great, but
I have never had problems getting support if my Internet service was down
with my router involved.
All the best
Steve

The main issue a member of my family has with Virgin is their non-support
for problems if you employ a wireless router. They will not enter any
discussion once they know you use such a facility and want you to use the
connection direct to the wall.
I have used ukonline broadband (with wireless router) for over 5 years and
have had excellent (no disruption) service in all that time.
Regards,
Denis

We've had no problem with Virgin at all as far as internet and phone service
or TV is concerned. We did have a problem at the installation stage with
incompetent installation engineers, but since then, we've been very happy.
broadband, TV and phone £30 per month inclusive of free weekend calls. Of
course, it may be different at the moment depending what the offers are.
