Why does Virgin broadband package come with coax cable and splitter?
Question by Jiro K: Why does Virgin broadband package come with coax cable and splitter?
I’ve recently made contract with virgin for cable broadband and the package arrived just the other day. I followed the instructions but can’t connect to the internet. The package also had 3 sets of coax cables and a splitter. I don’t know what these have to do with broadband.

Hi Jiro.
I’m with Virgin Media too.
The reason they supply a splitter – is that the cable from their ‘green cabinet’ carries both the TV signal and the Internet. The splitter is so you can run both services from the same wall box.
You should only need two coax cables – one from the PC to the modem box – and the other from the modem box to the wall socket. Not sure what the third cable is for !
Hope this helps.
