Hello again.

Cable doesn't work the same way as ADSL.

There is no such thing as an integrated Cable modem/Router - all cable modems have to be supplied by and registered on the Virgin network. Your new 'cable router' will plug in to the Cable Modem ethernet port and both will need to be on to get access to the internet. I (and a lot of others) use the Linksys cable routers - WRT54G or WRT54GSUK.
