you should start your own thread but as general help

not all installs have an internal box

start outside and look for the external wall box - 6" square ish usually on wall facing road or pavement - brown or grey usually - follow any cables that come from it and go inside - if there are non look inside opposite external box as they may just have drilled through wall - as said it may just be a cable rather than an internal wall box

if you find a cable you need one of these to attach the cable that came with the quick start kit

I recently moved to the house and ordered Virgin media broadband, I received the self-install kit today but I don't have a wall socket to plug the modem

but I believe if the system has allowed self install VM has been installed in the past
