I very much suspect that you'll still need to phone Virgin for a new
(small black) modem so that you can benefit from the various speed
upgrades that they keep rolling out... The only pain is having to
re-register the new modem when you get it. (Easy enough but why does it
always take an hour?!)


Good luck,
