Virgin Media wireless router and adaptor?

Is it possible to purchase, outright, a Virgin Media wireless router and adaptor without up-grading or having it added to the monthly bill?? My wee pensioner dad pays the bill and is not keen to add anything else to it. I will be happy to fork out for this as it's me who needs it anyway, as my old, out of date router needs re-booted every few days. Thanks Yahoo buffs. By the way, I have e-mailed Virgin and am awaiting a reply, but I suspect that they will want us to upgrade, but we are perfectly happy with our current package and do not need any more channels or super speedy connections.

    It is perfectly possible to buy an off the shelf wireless router and adapter package which will work with virgin media. Virgin do both cable and ADSL connection.

    If you have a cable connection you would need this sort of package

    if you have ADSL then you would need this package

    I see no reason why virgin shoudln't sell you some kit outright and you would be getting a measure of support but this would be reflected in the purchase price.
