    Looks to be a Netgear Wireless N.

    More to the point why are you with Virgin, are their no LLU operators at your exchange?
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    i have been with virgin approx 4 years. We did try to go with talk talk 4 years ago but for some weird reason they could not connect us.
    Now i have email addresses i want to keep with virgin.

    i am hoping to get a discount and a new router from virgin as my bill is just over 25 pound unlimited broadband and talk unlimited.

    Bit crap of VM.
    Both VM and Sky use a version of Gmail, however with Sky you can keep your email account for life, whereas it would seem that if you leave VM you lose it.
