Virgin Media fibre is a good service when compared to the competition. The internet connection speeds can be blisteringly fast without any lag. Old-style VM connectors (which looks like what you probably have in your first pic) screw onto the connector. New ones from VM have no threads inside and are a push fit. Are you suggesting Virgin Media have got magic cables that are better than any other cables and that Virgin Media are the only entity in the world able to acquire this mystical cable? Their cable in your home is basically high grade RG59 which is no better than WF100 and some would suggest that WF100 is actually a superior cable. Why would using their cable be better than using your own?

Use the new HDMI cable provided to connect the TV Box to your TV. Take a note of the name of the HDMI port you have connected to, e.g. HDMI 1.Yes. This is a negative aspect of using Virgin Media for your TV. To use Virgin Media, you need to connect to each TV with a coax cable. Without this you can only watch live TV in one location. dial 150 or 0345 454 1111 and follow the prompts to - 'thinking of leaving us' -- dont worry about that they do much more - open 8am -10pm 7 days a week - should take you to a UK call centre Can I have some assistance from a mod as it's clearly in contradiction to the information on this question and I'm currently without internet.

If you need to replace an existing TV box, follow the steps below to help you disconnect and return the existing TV box and connect the new TV box.
RG6 coax would be a suitable type of coax to use with the PPC EX6 compression F connectors and the compression tool shown. This cable would suffice: As I suggested, Virgin's own cable is more than likely of a lower quality than the cable I suggested. Using our home scan feature, you can see how well your WiFi’s working around your home. It’ll guide you from room to room to carry out WiFi speed tests. Yes, you must keep the coax cable away from electrical cables to avoid interference with the signal. Despite the coax cable being shielded to prevent corruption of the signal, it’s still possible if electric cables are laid next to the coax. It’s a two-way digital splitter. Splitters are used, as they suggest, to spit the signal so you can connect to another cable and watch TV in a separate room.
use existing house coax cabling for Virgin Media? Question Can I use existing house coax cabling for Virgin Media?
Do you need a technician from Virgin media to extend the cables? Can the extension cables be routed under floorboards next to electrical cables? No, it’s part of the terms and conditions that you need a Virgin Media technician to move Virgin Media equipment.

We're now having a bit of a change round and would like the router downstairs not too far from the main incoming point. Cat5 (and/or Cat6) are not types of coax. These types of cable are commonly used for ethernet cabling used for LAN and computer/data networks. Noise, I understand that Virgin will ideally wish to use their own cabling so they are comfortable with the quality but is the spec really that different from others and what are the likely effects from using different cabling e.g not working at all, more interference etc? Dante, your diagram is really helpful in helping me visualise the install. I've made a couple of changes to illustrate my question, see attached. Is this set up possible? Yes they look similar. I didn't know it was just a coaxial cable... feel rather daft now! I always assumed Virgin Media cables were fairly specific and were crimped with a tool as they feel robust.

I've actually got some of the actual F connectors Virgin use, but these are no longer available. Any quality F connector will suffice though. Virgin don't have them magically made expecially for them and they aren't rubbing them with the same snake oil you seem to think they use on their cables The Virgin Media Connect app is the control unit for your WiFi that helps keep you connected, and it’s available to anyone with a Hub 3, 4, 5 or Hub 5X. When you see ‘time to make the big switch’ screen, you can now remove the red tab from the new remote control. Be very careful following the advice above. You should use never use non Virgin terminate plates and never use twist on F connectors.Once at the house, the Virgin Media technician will run the cables wherever you want, and to any rooms you specify.
