My understanding is that because Virgin as an amalgamation of former small local companies it depends on the equipment those former companies installed. LD certainly works fine in the former Yorkshire Cable area. I had heard that it didn't work in the North-East but OldTechFan96's post seems to dis-prove that.

I expect Dave to be right in that the equipment does work but has a much lower fault tolerance than in the days when dials were the norm.
