Cable Virgin or ADSL Virgin?

There are supporters and haters of all makes so it really comes down to your own preference and price.
I suppose it would be better to get the package of modem AND wireless device (USB or otherwise) just for the sake of compatibility but to be honest, I use all manner of different makes etc and have no problems.

Any of these are suitable, read the various reviews on the site and choose one as they are all very similar specs. Some include an adaptor and some don't.

Yes but this one comes with a free USB adaptor which you may need.

Same one

But yes, exactly what you need

I saw this one first but an extra couple of quid for the adaptor is surely worth it.

Ah! yes, be daft not to

msampson

cheers for your help folks!

i do have £30 in vouchers to use on amazon and was wondering if the
Netgear WGR614UK Wireless 54G Cable/DSL Router £33.10 is also fine with vista and i will buy the adapter on ebay for this?

thanks
