I need to relocate my Virgin Broadbank box coming into the house. It's still an old Telewest box. They have strange looking screws which I don't have a fitting for. I've Googled it and I think they're called System Zero screws. I'm about to order this:

I just wanted to make sure I'm ordering the right thing.

Picture of the screws on the box?
Above are my opinions Below is my signature.
Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.
If gloom had a voice, it would be me.

Telewest Broadband Box Removal
Argyll, do you have have your broadband through them (or any other service)
Virgin media have a standard non fault call out charge of £25 where they will run the cable to the new location (providing extra virgin media cable if needed,) relocate the box to this new position (likely to update it to the newer style and slimmer box) they will also likely re new the old splitter to a new one too.
It's not too much or a price to pay considering they supply all the standard material, and is guaranteed to work.
It may work out cheaper than buying your own cable, connection box and splitter if you were going to update them, also if you provide your own cable there is a chance it will be lesser quality and cause issues and will cost you more to rectify.
