    What you are showing there is the menu you get when you right click on default server. I mean to left click (i.e. select) on Default Server and let it download its list of newsgroups. The click on All Groups(Default Server) tab in the right hand window and look for virginmedia.support.braodband.cable.

    How long have you given it to download?

    It's not going to help since you have the same problem when you are only connecting via the modem directly.

    I'd get the internet connection working before you think about a new router.

    I think you need to bite the bullet and get on the phone and get the engineer out. Phone 150 on your cable phone.
