hello all..
can anyone help with this query.
i'm a V!rgin customer and I have V!rgin broadband orginally installed into my back room a few years.
runs lovely and gives me 10meg broadband all paid for and above board.

i then got V!rgin tv installed for there FREE tv package..
tis connection goes into a different room (living room) therefore meaning we have TWO white boes within the house..

I've read somewhere about people having 2nd and third modems.

my question is - can I add a 2nd modem to this second white box in my living room (the one with just TV feed on it)

if so.. how?

preferably i want to add a modem and the wireless router supplied by virgin to give wireless across the house.
MANY THANKS!!

:-)

VM will only provide you with one internet connection per property. If you would like a second connection, then you will have to roll your own.

Plenty of information to be found here!

You need to add a splitter to your TV input cable feed. This will give you a spare cable output to plug into your modem.

Mate, I sell pre-mods, but I would not recommend buying one. Make your own.

There is loads of info on here on how to do it, you just need to have a read. Start with my laymans guide and you won't go far wrong. The guys here will help you out too.
