Well, the fact you have Virgin answers the ADSL2+ question - nearly all ISPs
have this, just a few old decrepit ones don't.

Are you connecting via laptop or PC - your adaptor (built in or dongle) should give you an idea if you can get 802.11n. The Wifi Sticker will either be B/G or B/G/Draft-N or B/G/N.

It's B/G/N

I'm connecting via a desktop and a couple of laptops
My laptop is about 5 years old.

Then your laptop probably doesn't have a wireless N card in it :)

But, the part of me that likes to be a bit futureproof reckons that if I get a new laptop
I will be able to have my internet in my back garden.

Right?

Faster wireless doesn't necessarily mean greater range
that's down to how good the antennae is and how much electrical interference is between you and your internet-capable barbecue.
