I have an older Ambit grey type modem. A friend of mine is moving house and has the newer,smaller one. If i just swap my modem for his,what if any issues will i have?

Could i buy a combined modem/wireless router and get it working?

Virgin will not swap ur modem unless its faulty or causing a fault for ur service for example if u decide to upgrade to 20mb as the old 200 doesnt really like 20mb service.

as for buying a cable modem, the only modems u can use on the Virgin networks are the ones they supply.

The modem in my mates house is likely to get binned. Would VM be likely to authorise the mac code for it if i phoned them?
