I always want my “networking stash” to look as much like commercial gear as possible. If I could afford all top line rack mounted Cisco stuff I’d be using it. In no way would I consider a stylized My Little Pony/Star Wars collection modem cool. In fact, if I were forced to use this box I’d probably hide in back of the stack or somehow try to make it look a little more serious.

Form follows function for us PC guys…

You're sounding like the anti-fashion brigade who insist that they don't care about fashion yet are very careful to never wear anything fashionable. They're just as much fashion victims as the people who only wear what's fashionable.]]>Nov 8th 2008 8:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/virgin-media-shows-off-stylish-50mbps-cable-modem/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/virgin-media-shows-off-stylish-50mbps-cable-modem/Nov 8th 2008 7:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/virgin-media-shows-off-stylish-50mbps-cable-modem/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/virgin-media-shows-off-stylish-50mbps-cable-modem/Nov 8th 2008 7:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/virgin-media-shows-off-stylish-50mbps-cable-modem/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/virgin-media-shows-off-stylish-50mbps-cable-modem/Nov 8th 2008 7:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/virgin-media-shows-off-stylish-50mbps-cable-modem/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/virgin-media-shows-off-stylish-50mbps-cable-modem/

In my area BT basically said "fuck you" to NTL or whatever provider it was back then, and cable was never installed in our area.

No Virgin Media good times :(

I wouldn't ever use a Virgin Media service again, their customer support is outsourced, their tech support is clueless and they are ignorant and rude.
