hi all,
can one of you guys tell me exactly what cable goes from my virgin media wall box to the computer connection point inside my house (looks like standard co-ax?)
thanks in advance

It will either be RG6 or RG59 cable.

Best bet is if you see a van pop over to them and ask them if they could make a lead up if you need to extend it, as I know some will sort a lead out for people.

Be careful though because it's not something that is really liked.

Your best bet is to give them a ring, then because they will just run a new cable around the house if possible or they will just use a new lead/cable in the house and run it to where, you want it to go.

Can be a abit of pain from what I remember when I use to install cable doing it on the inside of a house but it can be done.

You could still speak to someone if you see a van, but I would give VM a ring and see what it will cost you to get someone out to do it.
