Virgin Media Community

[GBrien]

I've just moved to the UK and into a flat that has a very old looking "Telewest" cable connection point, beside a slightly less old looking Virgin Media (Phone??) connection point. See picture.

Can I in 2023 connect a modern Wi-Fi Hub to this and expect it to work - 1) At all? and/or 2) At the expected speeds? 

Thanks for any help given

Should not be a problem, although the box looks to have a terminator on the screw terminal at the bottom. This just needs to be unscrewed and the cable from the new VM hub is pushed onto this screw terminal.

It is actually the phone connection on the left that is now obsolete for new customers, as the telephone now plugs into the modem/hub & not through separate wiring.
