Having said all that, I'd still prefer a Virgin solution - it seems to be generally faster.
Seems rather pointless to ruin a good connection by using the old phone socket and existing cabling, it is a bit like getting a state of the art Bluray player and connecting it to a an old black and white television.

At least Virginmedia use a high grade shielded coaxial cable from the cabinet to the property, it seems like BT are still stuck in the 1890's.
