As usual, no details provided. What sort of 'broadband' connection?
PPPoE? DSL? Operating system? What error you get, and where...

You're with virginmedia, so it would be a good guess you have the
full cableTV/phone/internet package? If so, there is an obvious
mis-configuration with the installation - goto VM site>support>common
problems>FAQ, then follow the tutorial.
(disabling and then re-enabling, if I remember all that is required is
2 updates, but check the VM site).

Cheers for the advice but its a nightmare finding this on the virgin site,
if you can find can you send me a link. Thanks

It appears it is now called "help", but I found it in 20 seconds, why did
you finsd it so tricky?
Scroll down and the phone helpline has now "introduced a small charge"
But to left is a help section with a glossary, and further down is a free
download for a the Cable broadband troubleshooter

Help. Hmmm. Too simple; can't you make this complex?
