We’re thinking about leaving Virgin Media. What we are really concerned about is the physical installation if we sign up with a new provider.
The installation with Virgin was a nightmare. We are in a mid-terraced house and ended up with a huge length of cable running through the bedroom, along the hall skirting boards, over the bathroom door and into the spare room. Is there any way of avoiding this with a new install? We are willing to have the router put anywhere to avoid this. Our installation was carried out quite a few years ago - have things moved on since then?
We would love to hear from anyone who has recently gone through this process, especially if you live in a terraced house.

Hi,
I'm in a similar situation... https://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Other-broadband-queries/Moving-ONT-box/td-p/2729534
Apparently to avoid the long cable runs you can install the ONT and router near to the CSP (the exterior box) and simply plug a WiFi extender (eg TP-Link ) into any socket in the house to extend the signal throughout.
