  • Ok, so I’m probably being very dense but my ex husband used to deal with all this. 
    My quick start box arrived today … am I supposed to have a virgin connection box already installed? I stupidly thought I could just plug it all in. Any help for a damsel I’m distress would be great fully received.

You need to look for a brown box on the outside of your home.

This should then lead you to where the internal box, roughly, is located.

It may not be a VM box, could be NTL, etc.

to add to the above

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
