1) Good luck with Apple UK, I'm afraid that they would take the view that this was such an oddity that an Apple/VirginMedia hotline would not be cost effective.

2) No, it's up to VM/ntl to put this right for your connection. Again, I doubt that a frontal attack would be any use. However, there are lurkers here at CF with hotlines to VM/ntl and it would be interesting to see if they could achieve anything or if it's just a coat of red paint
