So have just ordered the Virgin Media M100 package for one of my kids whom is off to UNI this autumn, looking online, seems the Virgin Media Hub (5) I think comes with an Coaxial connector to connect to the the Virgin media wall socket.

Have arranged for the Virgin media hub to be delivered to our home address, so will have a look when it arrives.

But if the Virgin Media Hub 5 does indeed have a coaxial connection (RG11 or simular) I may need a MoCA adapter to convert Coaxial to Ethernet to use a more suitable router or even source a MoCA-enabled router ?

Note: All internal Virgin Media cabling is coax (Coaxial), even if the feed from the street is fibre, which in most cases they are not. So you in essence only have full fibre to the the Virgin Media Toby Access Point located on the boundary of your property and then Coaxial is run to your property / house etc.

OPENREACH on the other hand is Full Fibre all the way inside the boundary of your property which then terminates at or inside your premises / house etc. (caveats as always)

In a completely sane world, madness is the only freedom (J.G.Ballard).
