Virgin Media Modem

Does anyone know what the current Virgin Media Modem looks like or what it is actually is 'brand' wise'? :eek: I've got 20MB service and I wanted to know what modem I will get.

I only ask because VM have decided to send me a new Modem (finally) and I've had a WebStar DX for the last 10 years! :T

I've no idea, what the newer modems are, had look online can only find information about the new, new - 50MB Modem EuroDOCSIS 3.0 - I don't think I'll be getting one of these as I don't have 50MB service.

Just wondered if any-one worked/ or knew or even VM installed recently could tell me what kind of modem it is! Thanks!

    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Virgin Media 256 (from February / March 2008)

    The 256 model will be yet again supplied to Customer specification by Ambit ( www.ambitbroadband.co.uk ). From the outside it is identical to the 255 model, but features a revised Broadcom chipset, the BCM3349KFBG


    This modem is still in a black Ethernet only housing, and is still "Dual Mode", and will be deployed across the whole Virgin Media network, including the ex-Telewest platform.

    Does support 10 and 20 Mbps Tier of Service, is capable of 40Mbps+
