and at no point did BT say available everywhere.

Exactly

Many of these adverts are on local web sites serving small local communities that have no access to Virgin Cable or BT Infinity.

I understand why these web sites accept Virgin's and BT's money, but why would Virgin and BT advertise products to communities they do not serve?

Have you checked, the sites may well actually be just serving up Google ads, or the site is part of a much larger group (e.g. many local papers)

Virgin complaining about BT regarding a misleading advert?

How about BT complain about Virgin claiming they say their products are 'Fibre Optic' when they are actually not (Virgin have been advertising it as Fibre Optic for ages).

It's like if BT started advertising their ADSL products as Fibre Optic all because the exchange is connected to the internet via fibre.

Ridiculous! Maybe Virgin should spend more time deploying their network to new locations than trying to complain about BT's adverts.

Oh and... I seen hundreds of cases where properties have been unable to get Virgins' Broadband, even though (For instance) the houses across the street can.

BT didn't, in anywhere in the advert, say that Infinity is available everywhere!

Virgin need to pull their act together.

it reminds me of the 1990s when Virgin Atlantic was always complaining about BAs tactics.

That was decided in the courts I believe.

This is a bit different, but yes, very irritating.

I get tons of VM junk mail too. :-/
