4) Wireless router - I would never want to sleep in a room with a modem and wireless router generating heat, flashing lights and RF...
5) Run a piece of Ethernet cable - although this is good plan, its down at number five as it would mean the modem flashing away, the carpet having to be pulled up, walls drilled and the hassle of getting the cable crimped. OK if you have the tools.
You do realise number 2 and number 5 would have the same problem. Number 5 has the advantage that if it goes wrong, Virgin won't charge £75 to to fix it.
